Ok, Im pre planning for next years fanime con. I'm planning to go to the con with around 12 people. Lets assume the prices are also $85 a night.
How much would it be for saturday and sunday night for $85 a night?
Theres around 12 of us. Probably 6 a room. Is this a good idea?
What would you do if you brought 12 friends? How would you split the prices between the people.
So most likely what would be the price including any tax for saturday and sunday night?
Plz help im like the co ordinator for the whole thing.
If you have 12 people, instead of 2 rooms with 6, why not 3 rooms with 4?
Assuming the rooms are 90 dollars a night even, It's only 75 dollars per person for three nights.
Saturday and Sunday night only would be 45 per person for both nights put together.
I wouldn't recommend having 6 people in a regular sized room. I had a suite and for a couple nights we had 6 people, but there was plenty of room for them. Regular rooms wouldn't have that.
So, yeah...try for 3 rooms with 4 people each.

Or get two suites with 6 people each for 3 nights and pay 65 per person.

That's true too.
I might not be able to follow any of that bcuz im sure noone would agree of me raising the price more.
I dont think they'll specifically check how many people are staying in the room since i guess i have to pay per person which im not going to do. I can just sneak them in

I'm confused. We just offered prices that were LESS than what you are saying. Or were you saying 85 dollars a night TOTAL for 12 people? because that's pretty unreasonable. If each person is only going to cough up like, 7 dollars per night, don't expect to get them into any sort of comfortable (or legal) sleeping arrangement.
I would recommend saving up more money. If you put 6 people into a suite for 2 nights, it'll be 25 per night PER PERSON. 50 dollars for two nights isn't that bad, considering 6 people in a suite is extremely do-able. (Karen did like, 10?)
My advice: get more money.

When is the recommended date to book a room bcuz as of right now im not so sure whos going. So whens a recpmmended date to book
The discounted hotel bookings aren't going to open for a long while, probably. I would seriously wait until the official bookings are open, cause you'll get the best price that way. I'd say you have at least six months to figure things out, if not longer.

They opened in early December for Fanime 2007. So..I'd say you've got 6 months before they open for people to book a room. I would book ASAP once they are open. Your card isn't charged when you book the room either, and you can cancel up to a week before the con, and even then you can still cancel when you contact the hotel directly.
For those of you that are trying to sneak in extra bodies to your room or got away with it this past con, you are only doing a ruining it for all the honest con goers out there.
The reason why the hotel rates are as low as they are is because the rooms were sold based on the room type and not the number of people in the rooms as in past years. If you want to have the hotel rates go up and be charged based on "sneaking" in more than 4 to a room, keep it up. You have no one to blame but yourself.
I should also mention that there were rooms found with more than 4 people in them. The hotel's response? They enforced the max. occupancy rule and the guests 'had' to reserve a 2nd room or be kicked out.
Not only are you jeopardizing the low rates, you are also putting a risk on the lives of your friends. In the event there is a real fire, earthquake or emergency in a hotel and you have packed in more than 4 people to a room, you are only asking for trouble.

I honestly wouldn't want to have more than 3 people per room, no matter how much I like them all.
Being a cosplayer, my outfits take space that a closet doesn't have(wings, wig heads props, etc), and more people in the room is asking for a cosplay accident to happen, which no sane cosplayer wants to happen.
-___-" You are all going to suffocate.
But, is it seriously $85/night?! O___O"
does anyone knows what the prices were in 2007 for the suites?
and the suites were available in the marriott and Hilton? or only in one of them?
Yes, the suites were available in the Marriott. Don't know about the Hilton. I'm not 100% sure the suites were available at con prices. My gut feeling says yes for con prices.
One of my friends booked a suite and the suite looks great. I'm getting a suite myself ;)

You forgot to also mention that cosplayers have an infamous reputation for taking a very long time in the bathroom. ;)
I pity the inexperienced who ever tried to squeeze 4 cosplayers into 1 room without planning ahead. It can take a full hour to dress up (depending on costume).
4 cosplayers == 4 hours in the bathroom == NOT going to work.
Some type of agreement or plan would have to be devised, for example bathroom is for changing into clothes, anything else (wigs, makeup, prosthetic elf ears, etc do it outside in the room).
I assume girls have this problem more so then guys, but I just had to add that. ;D

The suites in the Marriott are SOMETIMES available at convention prices. The Hilton suites will probably never be available at convention prices.
The junior suites at the Marriott were available though fanime last year, but are probably the only ones that would open this year.
You could try booking a suite at a normal price, but chances are, you'd be paying $500 a night.

Here's question regarding the 2008 Hotel accommodations... Since this thread has relevance to it and all.
The website, as of right now, states that room blocking will begin later this year, however it is the end of October. Is there a more definite ETA as to when we'll be able to reserve our rooms in the Fanime Housing block other than 'later this year'?

As far as I remember, the last 3 years they opened sometime in December.

Rummer has it that the Hotel Site will be up in November. >.>
But I mean who am I to say? :P
aha... excellent, and thank you for the replies. I really don't want to miss out putting my group in the Hilton again this year.
Just wait until December.

Rummer? A large drinking glass? ;) Just messing with yah.
Personally I have to say, having a room to yourself is sooo nice if you can afford it. No dealing with long shower takers, messy roommates, or snoring. Plus when you have friends over they all comment on how nice and tidy your room is.

tee-hee XP
November when... mid, end??
let's just say "this year", and hope for the best.
Thanks ;D
I had a dream last night... I was browsing through the FanimeCon 2008 hotel website and the prices were close to what it has been in the previous years.
Just a dream... right? ;)
Howdy Everyone, ;D
Currently I looking at the 2008 Hotel Website (in development) and I'm hoping that the kinks get worked out before the end of next week and we can go live with it.
This site will contain more information about the hotels, what they offer and what is available in the rooms and rates than we have had previously.
The only drawback currently is that have not finished getting the Crowne Plaza contract signed, which means it's possibly that the site will go live without the Crowne being listed, but I'm hoping to get that corrected ASAP, but at least you have been forwarned. :P
I'll keep you posted as we move forward.
Craige...
get a suite, I had 5 people in a room and that was a little TOO cozy
I know I'm getting a suite next year because with more than one outfits and people, I need space. Last year, the room I stayed in was a bit cramp so I wanted to spread out next year. Yeah, with that many people, get another room or a suite is the best bet. Trust me, no one likes to sleep in the closet or the bathtub.
i slept in a chair with the leg rest, and after a slight adjustment, it was pretty good for a chair....but i would like to sleep in an ACTUAL bed for '08.
yes...the beds are quite comfortable ^_^ VERY comfortable actually :D
Wait...you guys sleep...!?
Hmm, mabye that's what i'm doing wrong...
I am also interested in getting a suite in the Hilton since that has less traffic then the Marriot.
