    Fosterlager and I have a room at the Hyatt from Thurs 4/24 to Sun 4/27.

    We are looking to keep costs down, so we are opening up the room to share with others. Let either one of us know if you are interested. We will probably be opening up the room for trades and such on Thursday night.

    It is $135 a night at the Hyatt. We would split it evenly based on how many people room with us.

    I believe it is 3 nights so the total for the room is $405.

    Don't forget taxes and fees. They're retardedly high. Call up the place to make sure you get a REAL final amount, before splitting it amongst everyone - or else the person making the reservation will get stuck with a higher bill.

    Edit: Just checked, 17% taxes for a total of $473.85

    :mad  SUMBITCH! Oh well, it's Botcon, and I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks, I forgot how badly tourists always get hit with the tax ferret.

    I'm driving and I'll be taking care of the parking seperately. Last year it came to $20 a day with unlimited in-out. I expect a similar cost in Cincy.

    $473.85, split 4 ways = $118.46 a piece for a total of three nights. If we get a fifth or more, it's even less.

    I just had a couple drop out of our room. I have a double queen room, now with 2 open spots (2 spots taken). Send me a PM or email me at xZAO99x@gmail.com. The room is for 3 nights (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Looking for someone to either stay all 3 nights, or who'd be willing to split it evenly anyways (last year I got burned due to a guy having a flight delay).
