I stayed at the ABVI when I came to Fest from Tampa I think Fest 4, it was cheap, but it's a hike.

I know that when you entered any dates into the system a few weeks back that nothing showed up. Maybe they were doing some sort of renovations?

Yeah I tried a few weeks back and it wasn't taking bookings for any dates at all. Thinking about it, I have a feeling I had a similar problem last year. |

Yah, me and the Mr. are staying at ABVI on SW 13th. Left it too long for the Holiday Inn
 Not really worried about the distance, since we'll only be walking it twice a day.

I stayed in the days inn down 13th last time (I think across the street from ABVI), not really a terrible walk if you're used to walking I guess. This year I don't really have a place to stay, since I don't think any of the people I went with last year are going this year. Hoping to find some cool people looking for an extra person at the holiday inn or hampton, or really wherever... I'm not even remotely picky, just can't afford to book a room on my own.

I originally had a room at the ABVI for under 200 for 4 nights. Seems like a decent place if you have to crash alone.

We're staying at the Paramount Plaza, same place we stayed at for Fest 7. No complaints about that place from me!
