Ananegg 38 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 So I'm driving home from work last night just after the ball game ended and as I drive up I395 I get a great view of the new Hilton's ballpark facing rooms. Fully lit as though it was the middle of a sunny summer afternoon in the glow of the Camden Yards stadium lights. Considering how late they keep the lights on after night games, it sure will suck to try and sleep in those rooms. Link to post Share on other sites

Asrial Dune 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Or you can just work the con! Some of us overwork ourselves to the point of nearly passing out on the walk back to the hotel. I probably wouldn't even notice those lights. Link to post Share on other sites

ota_retired 6 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Last I remember, hotel windows have these big thick things called CURTAINS Link to post Share on other sites

Um... you forgot one small thing in this situation. and this is a big IF too, what if during the con there is no home game scheduled. Its a 50% shot of happening. of course they might have some great *bleep* curtains to keep out the light I may also be referring to the hotel it's self and not directly to staying there during the con. Also odds are in favor a at least one home game over lapping an Otakon in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
Neardawg 7 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm staying there next year, and I WANT a room on the stadium side as high up as possible. If there is a game Thursday night I might actually watch a game if I get a view of the field. Link to post Share on other sites
Chamelion 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have also just reserved a room there. I got one of the rooms with the HD RM... apparently an awesome set up for HD movies, internet and hooking up your lap top. As long as my same group comes back next year, it will be damned cheap per person to stay in the room. If they dont...........I may be looking for somewhere else to bunk C Link to post Share on other sites
gotenks794 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I don't think the lights will be a problem. I'm so excited to be staying there this year. In 07 I was in the Hyatt which was great. In 08 I stayed in the Intercontinental and let's just say it wasn't great. Very long walk to and from BCC/harbor. The Hilton should be great, though.

IceCreamGuitar 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 ...wow, I hope my room doesn't face the park. xD Oh well. Yeah. Thank goodness for blinds. This'll be my first year ever staying in a hotel for Otakon...it would be bad if my first one sucked. D= Link to post Share on other sites
ota_retired 6 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Seriously guys, this isn't really a huge problem. Hotels have blinds that, for the most part, can make your room pitch black at high noon. There's really no reason to complain. Link to post Share on other sites
The INfamous MC 24 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 As someone who stayed in the hotel last month, I can assure that the Hilton has heavy duty blinds that block out the lights. Link to post Share on other sites
kalyoth 5 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 You don't need to worry about this for the 09 con since it seems to be occuring during the All Star Break and then they resume in Chicago. So you will have to wait a year for the lights and action to be discovered. Link to post Share on other sites
