That's the Marriott

Sweetness!

The_Universe and I don't know where we're staying, yet... however, where ever the party is, we shall be.

So is the Embassy Suites connected via skywalk? I'm still not exactly clear on that...

I lot of people like the Embassy but for me it was the Hyatt, rooms were very nice and a very short walk via the Skywalk. There were some semiars in the Embassy and it is bit farther than it looks on the map (landscaping). The Weston (is that right) skywalk leads right to the dealer room.

Okay, plan out your days building calendar, you can find examples on the gencon forums and last years thread, leave yourself time to check out stuff.

Embassy is two block walk, but not that bad HoE. I like it for the suites (we have 4 in our room, two couples). And FREE BOOZE 5-7pm.

But Hyatt would be a sweet stay as well.

We stayed at the Hampton inn last year - a great place that I can highly recommend, but it was *just* far enough away to make it a pain to run back if you forgot something...

Embassy is "about" the same physical distance, but still a tad closer. But has skywalks. So its air-conditioned. We stayed (for the ONE day we were there) at the Hampton Inn in '04.

I hope that's not in Virginia...

Oh, the senate overturned that. At least someone in this state has some sense about them.

Yes, that hotel is the Marriot. Thanks, I could remember which one it was. I stayed there in '03. The anime rooms all were right there by that walkway. It was a nice hotel. Even had USA Today delivered daily, IIRC.

I may need a roommate if my friend from '03 isn't going. I need to email him...

I've liked all the hotels I've seen there, all pretty nice lookin'

I heard but I figured the joke was valid for at least one more day.
