GenCon Housing

[hwango]

So, this year I remembered that it was ABSOLUTELY VITAL to sign up the instant housing opened, so I wouldn't get stuck with a crappy hotel 2 or 3 additional blocks from the con...or worse, nowhere near the con at all, or missing the GenCon rate. I booked the hotel I stayed in 2 years ago, since I was quite happy with that one. The price has gone up $10 in the last 2 years, but it was still one of the cheaper options that was less than 1/2 mile from the con. I found myself slightly tempted by a hotel that was even closer and appeared at first glance to be only slightly more expensive, but then I realized 2 things: First, over five nights total and the ludicrous tax on hotels, it would actually come to an extra $83, and second I really, REALLY hated my hotel from last year for all sorts of stupid little things, and there was no reason to chance this hotel having the same sort of things when I could just go with one that I knew I liked. My feet will manage, hopefully.
