With WMC dates just announced I want to book our hotel asap. I checked around online. Seems like there are lots of places in the $150/night range for 4 people in good locations. I realize that we will not be sleeping whatsoever, but we need a place that has enough size for 4 of us to get ready, etc.

Do you think its worth paying a little extra to stay at the Raleigh (for the pool, etc). I found it for like $200/night. Is it too far north? I heard its pretty nice - will it be too upscale & not have other WMCers there? Or should we just find some small shitty place?

Thanks

Hey...

This early you may very well be able to find hotels online in prime location (around 5th-20th Ave or so) for even cheaper than 150 a night.
I have found hotels online for as cheap as 50-70 a night.. Its up to you how much you want to spend and how many people you have stayin with you; but I wouldn't blow the extra $$ on a nice room when you won't even be in it... I like you will be in the same situation LOL... so I understand; and Im sure I wont be getting anything fancy since the room will be used just as a place to keep my stuff,shower/change to go out and maybe to get a couple minutes of sleep during the week im there LOL. So yea I def wouldnt waste your money; I can think of many other things you can save it for during your week there! heh

Love, Rach

if you say there are 2 people staying in the room and you want 2 double beds, it will be cheaper than booking the same amount of beds for 4 people ...usually....
just a tip!!!

the whole point of the WMC is to NOT spend time in the hotel room. Personally, I have never cared how good the place was that I Stayed in. Last year I stayed at the Riande for $89/night. It had 2 queen beds, a sofa bed, and a kitchen. We had 3 people staying in there and it was large enough that we had about 25 people in there for a party. My opinion of a hotel is this "what do you actually see when your eyes are closed???" All I need is a bed and a decent bathroom, other than that I am out on the beach/ocean drive/drunk/clubbing and the hotel is maybe 15-20% of the time...Only spend a lot on a hotel if you plan on spending a lot of time there

^^^^^ what he said ^^^^^

I stayed in a hostel for $20 a night. slept between 6 am and 2 pm..thats all I needed

Sleep is overrated at WMC foo!

my suggestion is to go to www.hotels.com and look up Flight and Hotel together...

with 4 people flying in on the 5th and leaving on the 10th it was $399 per person w/airfare on ATA out of Midway and hotel @ Suite of Dorchester which were fine last year and we had 8 people stay in one Suite!

see you all there.

Yeah i might be going solo for this as well, gotta find someone willing to drive all the way down to FLA and get a hotel with me. My roomate said he would go if his spring break is the same as ours. (we go to different colleges)

for the cost of driving down you can fly for less. Flights are going for under $200 right now
