The Hyatt is sold out.
Two days after posting to the main Arisia site and this livejournal community (in response to a posted question, not as an announcement post as promised, significantly lacking the "hotel" tag). I just got confirmation from innkeeper@arisia.
I am displeased. This may be the first Arisia I miss since I moved to this area.
I tried the overflow hotel once, and determined that it was not worth doing.

The only restriction I had was if I wanted a queen room, it was not available on Friday. I chose a king instead.
Apparently there are three floors of rooms unavailable this year. Really bad planning on the part of the hotel considering.
At least this is the last year in that hotel.

The shuttle was never overcrowded, on the other hand. But maybe that's because no one knew when it would be running and a lot of taxis got a lot of business out of Arisia instead.

I'm a Bostonian so I know how cold and crappy it is here in the winter. Even in a mild winter, I wouldn't make that trek on foot. Hence my desire for cab information.
$10 each way is....irritating. I mean if I split it with ppl each direction it's not horrible, but still. That would add money to my con budget I'd rather not spend.
One of the reasons I want to be in the main hotel is so I can have some place to go chill out (I pretty much require afternoon naps during a con).
Meh.

are there any actual functions in the overflow? or is it just for placing one's hat.
last year, i brought a selection of my own tasty treats, which worked out well for late night; otherwise, i ordered in twice. was a cheap method to feed.
prior year i used the hotel food services more so, and while good, i'd rather spent my $$$ elsewhere (and did).

There are no functions planned for the overflow hotel; it is strictly for individual room space.

I reccomend trying to make a res, if you don't find a share, etc, mere days before the con, as often (see two years ago) the hotel opens up a bit when people realize they're going to miss the con for one reason or another.
