Convention members get discounted hotel rates, but we do sell out the hotel, so
book early.  A standard room with one king or two double beds is $72.  If you have
a lot of people and want to bring the cost down lower, you can rent a two-room
suite for $92 - as long as some people are willing to sleep on the floor, you could
fit up to 8 comfortably in one of these.

   I think you forgot to put the "1" in front of that "8," Tammy.
   Lord knows, that's our record!  ;)  (Actually, our record is
   22 in a double.)

Packing people into hotel rooms is common practice in fandom - we call it "hamster
fandom." :-)

   When we were still at the Southfield Days, overlooking the
   concrete expanse that was supposed to be a tennis court, we
   referred to it as "lemming fandom".  :)

   One phrase to remember: Pass Out Under The Munchies Table.
   A time-honored, if technically disallowed by Con rules,
   tradition among the Freons and Bart Giamattis of the world...
   (as well as the NOT BARTs.)

   In all seriousness, get a room.  Or, if that fails, take your
   chances and donate a tenner for "crash space" in someone else's.
   It's a great way to meet people and Make New Friends.
