Hotel Information for BlizzCon 2011 (was 2010)

[Cairenn]

I made up a little map for all of you:

I was at the Marriott for the last couple years (but only because Blizzard was paying the freight). Dolby has been staying at the Hilton. Those are both nice because they are literally right beside the convention center. They are also, however, pricy.

I know that a few of the UI Community have stayed at Stovall's Inn for the last couple years, and say it's really nice, a lot more reasonable in price, has free internet, but is a few minutes walk to the center.

I know MentalPower has stayed at the Anabella at least once, he seemed reasonably happy with it. I think he moved over to Stovall's for the next couple of years, hanging out with Esamynn

RedLion - Cogwheel and his wife stayed there one year, they said it was okay, but it has changed management since then, so no real idea on it

Sheraton Park Hotel – Another one that is really close to the convention center, don't really have any info on it though, don't know anyone who has stayed there (I mean, I probably do know people that have stayed there, but I don't know, ya know?)

Clarion Hotel - Same as Sheraton

The second year I went, I stayed at Cortona, it's reasonably priced, rooms are basic, but clean. However it doesn't have internet in the individual rooms unless you pay extra. It does have internet access in the 'common areas', I believe. (I don't really recommend this one so much. It's 'okay', but that's pretty much all it is. Folks haven't been really happy with it).

As you can see by the map, there are tons of hotels within a fairly close distance, but the above listed are the ones that immediately come to mind because I either have direct experience with them, other members of the community have stayed there and told me about them, or they are really close.


The hotels that Blizzard has arranged group rates with are listed on their BlizzCon Travel page.

If anyone else has good info about hotels I don't already have listed, feel free to post about it, I'll add it to the list.


Also, as a reminder: Anyone that is going to BC is welcome to add my cell phone number to their list of numbers, since I tend to be the 'central hub' for everyone to keep track of where everyone is, what's going on with the UI community, where we're meeting up next, etc. and so on. Just PM me.
