I know it's probably early but has anyone gotten their waitlist hotel approved yet?
I'm looking for a glimmer of hope that mine will be soon. ^^;
Mine did ;D! Well for Thursday because I got lucky and booked the Fairmont from Friday - Monday after the site calm down. Then right after I called housing to put me on waiting list for Thursday May 22 and a week later I got it ;D.

Lucky! That's awesome. We have a few days at the Fairmont but I'm really wanting the Marriott since we've been there every year since 2004. Hope you have a great time at Fanime 2014. :D
Fairmont is so nice and the room is big too.
Here's the photos of what the room look like.

That is a pretty nice room. We'll stay at the Fairmont if we can't get our waitlist approved. It's just easier and safer for me at the Marriott because if my partner goes to sleep I can just go down to the con myself. I don't particularly feel safe walking the distance from the Fairmont to the hotel at night by myself but that's just me.
Yep, I got into the Ramada room that I asked for :)

That's great. I'm trying to be optimistic for our waitlist. Hope you have a great Fanime Con 2014!
I got my Thursday room at the Marriott, so now I have a full Thurs-Mon room
Still waiting ;_; .. I currently have Friday-Tuesday at the Saint Claire, and I'm on the waitlist for the Fairmont.
Come on guys! The Saint Claire is closer! Trade with me! *slapped* uu.. *keeps her fingers crossed*

If my Marriott waitlist goes through I hope you get the Fairmont which is what I currently have.

Good luck to both of us then. I come to Fanime from Colorado, and staying at the Fairmont is actually kind of part of my experience/Fanime tradition.

I totally understand I'm coming from Indiana and ever since 2004 it's been our hotel to be at. We've had times where it's just a couple days on the waitlist and we get it but this time it's the whole trip we're waiting for. I'll be there from Thursday to Wednesday. It would be fine no matter I guess but it's been a tradition for so long. ::keeps being hopeful::
I have a couple of questions about the housing ._.
How do we get on the waitlist for the hotel rooms?
When we email housing at "
[email protected]" what should go in the email? What should I say?
Is it better to call or to email?
This is my first time having to sign up for the waitlist, and I'm really confused.
Please help ;c

The best way is to call CMR Housing. The number is:
(800) 924-4232
(415) 979-2282
I've heard that you need to have a hotel already to get on the waitlist though. Example: I am at the Fairmont but I want the Marriott so I am waitlisted for that hotel.
wow, if they just hurry and give me my Hilton room you can have what i currently have at the Fairmont! XD I got someone coming with me thats in a wheel chair and those light rail tracks plus the street/curb transitions are terrible to go over, especially with tons of people waiting at the corner doesnt help ^^.
I haven't received notification yet for mine. Then again, I wasn't able to call to be placed on the waiting list until much later in the day as I was stuck at work.
Me and my friends are still waiting and are starting to freak out. We have a room for Saturday to Monday, but we really need Thursday and Friday as well. :'(

I'm wanting a completely different hotel and I need Thursday through Wednesday.
I hope you get the dates you need soon.
When's the last day to cancel? Rooms should start opening up then.

I know that the Fairmont (hotel that I currently have but I want the Marriott) has a cancellation date of April 25th. I don't think many people are going to cancel their reservations though. The people that took multiple rooms might.
I think hotels on the waitlist for Wednesdays tend to take longer, as that was the case for me and my group last year and this year as well. I put in my request for a Wednesday stay the hour hotel rooms were opened (managed to reserve an actual hotel, just not the days we wanted lol), and my reservation was finally changed a few days ago~
I hope yours eventually goes through! ;w;
If anyone gets their wait list approved and ends up with a spare room at the Fairmont or Saint Claire, please let me know! Of course I would also take either the Hilton or the Marriott.
My waitlist was just accepted today! I originally only had Wednesday night at the Hyatt Place but I have it until Tuesday. I had a double bed room on the waitlist but switched to an available King bed room instead. Good luck everyone.
No longer on the wait list as of Friday April 18th
I got a Friday - Monday king bedded room at the Marriott
Was hoping for Hilton but I'm glad I got in either way

When were you put on the wait list? I'm hoping for a Marriott room (have a Fairmont right now) and I'm just wondering how long the list might be.
I sent them an email the day hotels went up saying I tried and tried and got a phone call a few hours later saying they would put me on the wait list.
I called back I back about a month ago and then got my wait list reservation filled a week later.
I don't know if calling them sped up my process but I am on the list now so that's good.
Best of luck to you Purelovely and everyone else!
Nope, me and my friend are still waiting to get a hotel =/ Only 1 week left before we can cancel our reservation at the other hotel.
Wish us luck.
