Hotel Staff: Overly helpful, to the point where I made a comment that it's okay for them to be human. XD I had needed to get a prescription filled on sunday, and they directed me to a pharmacy that was closed, but that was due to their computer not having updated information.
Walk to Otakon: Depending on which door we were allowed to go in on any given day, between 5-8 minutes if the lights cooperated, 8-10 otherwise.
The good: even though we made a MESS of the place, (ex. dieing the tub black from spray in hair color being washed out) I didn't get charged a single dime extra than i was quoted. I got the room through hotels.com. There was a king bed that we could have slept 4 in, but only slept 2. There was a pull out couch that slept 2. There was a full kitchen (ie fridge/freezer, stove, microwave....dishwasher....). the hotel is easily within walking distance of both the harbor for food, and the con center. There was a cute little divebar type pub down an ally we ate dinner the first night suggested by one of the staff that was pretty good, but servace took forever. the hotel was also right next door to a CVS and a 7/11, and up the street from a Dunken Donuts.
The bad: the kitchen was laid out a little odd, and we couldn't find the utensils for a while. and the sink was outside of the bathroom.(i mean the bathroom one not the kitchen one). there was a mix-up at checkout about us having a car. we didn't we tok the train down. But the second i said that we didn't they investigated the issue and removed it from the bill.
Would i stay there again: Yes. It wasn't inexpensive.....but it was worth it. I paid about $840 for thurs-sun.
