otherwise, hope that the Hilton is open before Otakon. It will have Skywalk access too.

Otakon room blocks tend to sell out faster and faster every year. Days Inn, Sheraton and Hyatt Regency are among the first to sell out the fastest.

to see all those anime lovers converge and take over a city for three days and two nights... (more if you stay on Thursday).
