We had the Browncoat and Steampunk tracks in our hotel, and everything else was only a block away, so I feel Like we got a good con experience from the hotel without having to deal with the headaches of the main 4 hotels.

We stayed at the Days Inn, which was only two blocks from all the convention hotels.  Not a bad deal.  And no wait for the elevators ;)  I must admit, though, last year was our first Dragon*Con (where my avatar photo was taken), and we stayed at the Marriott, and it was AMAZINGLY fabulous!  Expensive, though!  ::cringe::

I've stayed at that Days Inn several times in the past, but it has gone waaaay down hill recently. The last time I stayed there, the lamination on the door was peeling up and it stank of mold and crud. So last year we went high end and stayed at the Marriott. This year we tried the Hilton. Those bat rastards wouldn't check us in until after 3:00 pm even though we requested early check in on our reservation. Thinking of the Sheraton or Westin next year. I won't even attempt the Hyatt...I've seen the lines for the elevators and if it gets too crowded on the main lobby, the fire marshall closes it down and won't let anyone enter even if they can prove they have a room there.

DonC:
I usually stay at the Days Inn, too. It's literally almost $100 a night cheaper. But this year a friend of mine was looking for a fourth room mate at the Hyatt. I also read on Live Journal that the Days Inn is renovating and some of the rooms didn't pass the health inspectors.

I stayed at the Renaissance and it wasn't a *bad* hotel, but riding the MARTA (in costume) kinda sucked and just everytime I wanted to change or do something at the last minute it was a PITA.  I got a last minute call to be in a RPG and I really wanted to, but it would have taken me too long to get there.  I figure I want to be close enough to just pop up to my room for whatever reason.

Great pics, DonC!  You must have been at the Superhero gathering.  I'm sad I missed it...I don't remember what night it was, but there were four or five of us Black Widows posing together. That was a blast.  I hope it gets tagged somewhere so I can have one.  :D

Our hotel got sold and didn't bother to tell us...>.> So we got to find out when we got there, and we got to stay with my friend and his friend. Three girls, one guy, two beds...

Not fun...

But other than that and my costume effing up, DragonCon was awesome. I hope Butcher comes back next year. DragonCon did say something about him possibly doing that, but ya never know. D:
