If your budget's tight you should check out the various places on SW13th Street. Comfort Inn, Days Inn, even the Paramount Plaza can be OK priced (and it's nice too!). Bit of a walk to the action but do-able in 25-30 mins or so.

The Hampton Inn tripled (3x) their costs ONLY during the Fest weekend. fuckit

That blows.

Hampton Inn is pretty nice, just a little far away. You can get free waffles in the morning there, though, which could be a dealmaker for some folks.

Isn't the Hampton on 1st Avenue closer to more of the venues than the Holiday Inn. That's how it seemed last year as I stumbled around all over half crazy.

i actually thought it was a good place almost in the middle of everything. i've been there last year and found out i had breakfast with duncan redmonds, floyd from fat and surely some others i did not recognize. i remember two really cute twins with tattoes, too.

anyway i am looking for a floor to crash on this year so if anyone is willing to help a poor italian dude, let me know ah! thanks

yeah that's what i meant

we found the paramount to offer cheaper rates if you book online, separately from the Fest options. Just go to their website and click "best rate guaranteed", punch in your dates, and check the rate. i am pretty sure last year when we stayed there, our rate was something like $70/night versus $100/night if you booked it through the Fest site.

There's two Hampton Inns in GNV, one's miles away and there's the new one that opened just in time for last year bang in the centre of downtown, even better placed than the Holiday Inn.

hamptons cost doesn't seem too bad. it was like $600 something for thursday - monday for 4 people which worked out about £108 each. free breakfast too? i'm happy with that.

sleep in yer van!!!

its now 810$ .. like 30% more

i checked it like, today? has it changed that dramatically already? surely not!

just checked it some minutes ago... and wasn't it last year just 100$ per room?

anyway.. i just booked my room at american best value inn.. 165$ for three nights with two double beds.. got 15% off with that value card, takes about 3 min to fill out on the mainpage ...
