[Pros:]

Stayed at the Hilton this year!

Pros:
CONVENIENCE.
Had a problem with my bank during check in and management did a WONDERFUL job handling the situation. Like, I've never had hotel staff arguing with my bank on my behalf before lol
Stayed on the fourth floor, and it was wonderfully quiet!
Elevators were amazingly not terrible whenever we did decide to use them, which I haven't had in previous years.
Spacious room as always with a fridge that worked~ c:

Cons:
Cockroaches in the pool area. Not just little ones, but two roaches that came with their own boss theme music.
Water pressure got progressively worse throughout the weekend! By the end of our stay there was hardly any pressure at all.
Garbage in the hallways also got progressively worse as the weekend progressed.

The only way I got a hotel confirmation this year was calling the hotel directly and confirming my registration! Hope that helps~ c:

Hey i JUST got an email saying i was moved off the waitlist! I'm now in a 2 bed room at hilton xOX So even tho i missed those openings (wtf?) i still got off the waitlist and i'm a 12pm 25th slot

Hmm this raises more questions for me.  I was also a 12pm 25th slot, got on the waitlist right away, and yet the email that I got from from Fanime booking earlier today said I am still halfway down a waitlist of 470+ people.

Well, in any case, congrats! At least the waitlist is working out for someone!

25th/12pm slot here too, my waitlist went through back on the 9th. Friend of mine was on the waitlist 25th/6am and she still hadn't heard anything on hers. This year's hotel situation is just a nightmare all around!

Wow. I just saw it too. Kameifan5x is not making it up.

I wonder why they're doing that? Not good.

This is the second time I've seen this happen (first time I didn't think to grab a screenshot). A friend of mine was on the waitlist for the Hilton as well, and despite the site saying that they're available right now, she hadn't received a reservation change~ D:

Hey everyone! There are rooms available at both the Hilton and Marriott~!

Unfortunately your waitlist movement is different from artists. You're just trying to get more days at the hotel  you're in already. All the artists were in 3pm block and are in airport hotels trying to get to the closer ones. That's why I find it weird that someone claims that 2 bdrooms opened at the marriot. I'm trying to switch into a 2bdrm at the marriot, shouldn't wait list get priority?

Well yes, I never stated I was an artist (though we do have an artist with us) when it came to my reservation~ :v Also I already listed why I think my waitlist went through in my previous post. I recall someone saying that it may be a mix of automatic and manual attendance in regards to the waitlist itself, which would also apply to my getting an email confirmation so late at night, if not it just took hours for it to show up in my inbox! And I agree with so many others that artists should've gotten priority, especially with the nightmare that the AA is going through.

I also saw that the Marriott had open rooms for their doubles, which is strange considering that there are still people on the waitlist!

If it helps any, my waitlist confirmation e-mail was sent to me at a really weird time, like 11pm PST. I can understand a delay in said e-mail confirmations, but still~ :v

Great news on my end: my waitlist went through! My hotel block was on 2/25 at 12pm, and my waitlist confirmation was at 1pm. Originally I snagged a room for a single night at the Hilton and joined the waitlist to extend my days there with a different room type. If it helps any, I also gave my Hilton Honors number when I first made my reservation~

Anyway, good luck to everyone else! ;w; <333

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I'm hoping to see both S.H.Figuarts Body in Chan and Kun! Also hoping to score some Touhou swag~ ;y

Also, if you're worried about being stuck with a hotel room that you don't want now that the deadline has passed, remember that you can always cancel with the hotel directly and you won't be charged~ c: Though it'd be best to cancel at least 48 hours prior, given the new deposit policy.

[email protected]! Let them know what panel you submitted for, and that you'd like to change the day priority if possible~ c:

Send a follow up e-mail with a request for a day change - evening time would work best for me too~ Hopefully that'd work! >w<

Forgot to mention, but if this winds up working out for our schedule, I'll be Sapphire with a Ruby (my RL fiancee <33)~ <3

What day did you submit it for? I'd be interested in helping out or taking over (as I've been a panelist at Fanime and different cons for years) if the time is on Friday!

I've been wondering that myself! Neither my or my friends' waitlists have moved at all. >:

Posted earlier in the other thread, but I'll be attending as a Victorian inspired Sapphire, and my girlfriend will be Victorian inspired Ruby~ <3

I'll be there as Victorian-inspired Sapphire, and my girlfriend will be Victorian-inspired Ruby~ <3

Yes! I will also be Muffet. Let's Spider Dance together! :3

omg YES! We spiders will be dancing~ >w< <3

A little late, but first post edited! >w< Come join us <333

Awwe no! My schedule would've been perfect if the gathering was on Sunday! @A@;;

Ha ha no worries of course~ I'll be there as Muffet, my girlfriend will be either Blookie or Chara, and our friend will be Papyrus~ c:

I'll be attending as Yuyuko, and my girlfriend will be Youmu~ <3
