Re:Ask CONnie
Dear CONnie,
Question: We got a hotel 12 miles aways from downtown. It’s only
$100 a day for all four of us. I lived in Atlanta for 10 years so I
know the area pretty well and can get around. However, the car
rental is another $80 a day plus extras and parking and all that
crap. So I’m thinking why not just stay at the Hyatt. Finally,
here’s the question: Are there a lot of Lexxian’s staying at the
Hyatt? ~:-)

[b]Dear Planet,
Staying off site and renting a car is a big no-no UNLESS you have something in the area you want to see.
Parking at the Hotel is hard to get and expensive… like $15.00 a day or something like that. Otherwise you will end up parking blocks away and hoofing it. And even then it is still not cheap.
Staying off site with three other people becomes a logistical nightmare. Having to meet up at certain times, not being able to leave when you want to… or having to leave when you don’t want to because someone else is tired or not feeling well. ect…. Also having to shlep everything with you all day long….. nightmare.
There will almost certainly be people at the Hyatt… and even if the people you want to see are at the other con host hotel the Marriott. Well heck that is only across the street.
Trust me, it will be much more cost effective in the long run to stay at one of the Host Hotels. Me? I will be across the street at the Marriott, since that is where the fan table will be and all the exhibits halls are.
Enjoy. When you do decide where you are staying let us know and we will put you on the Roll Call list on the Lexx DragonCon page.
