Is this even something that the hotels do? And if so, are suites generally still available this close to the con?And on a related note, does anyone know if the Sheraton even offers suites? I can't find anything on their website...I'm staying there at just a regular room, but I'd like something a bit larger if possible.Tags:host hotels, sheraton This will be my first year staying at the Sheraton and I just wanted to see if anyone cared to share their experiences with the hotel in the past? Are the rooms clean? Any spacing issues? Noise level? That kinda thing. Thanks!Tags:host hotels, sheraton Hi all. First time attendee to D*C and the parade. As such, I've never shipped a costume there. Am staying at the Sheraton and they said I can ship the costume down there. Does anyone know the best way to ship a costume? It's a Cyberman made of foam, probably weighs less than 15 lbs. It's bulky so I am going to ship in a big box or rubbermaid container. I'm not sure when to ship (I've read the posts of charges for storage at the hotels) and which carrier, USPS, UPS or FedEx) I should use. Any advice?Tags:costumes, faq, first timer, sheraton, transportation If anyone who stayed at the Sheraton last year knows the answer to this, I'd be very appreciative for any info!I'm wondering if the LCD TV's in the guest rooms have HDMI hookups, whether they're covered up, whether the input channel is locked out, ect. I know at the Mariott last year they had input boxes so that laptops, ect could be easily hooked up, but I can't tell from the photos/virtual tour if the Sheraton's the same. While D*CTV is awesome and I'm sure we'll watch it, I was wanting to show some pilot episodes of stuff on my hard drive to my roomies in the evenings.Tags:sheraton I'm staying in the Sheraton this year, and it'll be my first year every utilizing hotel parking. Can anyone shed light on what the options are and how much they cost? We're checking in on Thursday, and checking out on Monday.Tags:parking info, sheraton Hey everyone,Just a heads up, the Sheraton is starting to take their 1 night deposit from whatever card that you used to make the reservations. It caught me out of the blue since the reservations where made almost 3 months ago. I hate it when hotels do that.Tags:sheraton Hey all, Just called the Sheraton and they still have rooms available. The website states that none are available but if you call the hotel themselves there are still Kings, 2 doubles, and 2 queen type rooms available!$169 King$189 Doubles$209 QueensGood Luck everyone especially after the Marriott debacle this morning :)Tags:sheraton So the pick up counter for will call is described as being in the pre-reg section... does that mean I would have to wait through the pre-reg line of doom?? The reason I don't buy badges a year in advance anymore is specifically to avoid the doom!Tags:badges, registration, sheraton The Dragon*Con MMO gang is throwing a party, and you're invited!Saturday night in the Sheraton's Capitol Ballroom (10:00), we'll be holding our first ever "Gathering of Heroes".Come as you are, or come dressed as your favorite hero from an MMO.MMO heroes limited to... *deep breath*Stormtroopers, Jedi, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, Knights, Ninjas, Pirates, Rogues, Thieves, Buccaneers, Snipers, Scouts, Rangers, Strangers, Hunters, Wizards, Lich Kings, Dragons, Dwarves, Gnomes, Elves, Pilots, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Necromancers, Shamans, Priests, Demons, Barbarians, Conquerors, Enchanters, Federation Officers, Redshirts, Spellslingers, Post-Apocalyptic Wanderers, Road Warriors, Corsairs, Privateers, Smugglers, Mad Scientists, Tinkerers, Drow, Monks, Medics, Healers, Brewmasters, Tanks, Dragon Riders, Warriors, Superheroes, Supervillains, Lions, Tigers, Bears (oh my!), Ravens, Hawks, Tauren, Orcs, Trolls, Goblins, Worgen, Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies, Elementals, Kobolds, Cylons, Colonials, Gods, Gunslingers.

When they sent me a new e-mail to reflect the changes to my overall reservation, it did mention the charge. I had to change my credit card anyway, since the one I made the reservation under had been canceled due to identity theft, but it just took me off guard about this charge before the con itself. I don't know if this is a policy that they have since added since I made my reservation last October, but I had NO clue about this charge until I called tonight. Were others told this when they made their reservation?So, heads up for those staying in the Sheraton.Tags:sheraton Okay, so my memory of last September is a bit fuzzy. I made a Sheraton reservation on September 11, 2008 as soon as the con rates were released.

Tags:hilton, hyatt, marriott, sheratonLocation:home, in Virginia We are staying at the sheraton for the first time and I'd like to ask y'all for any info about it you'd care to share... about the layout, the rooms, shortcuts, etc. Anything...I was looking at the floor plans on their site but it wasn't till I poked around that I realized it was 12 floors... LOL We were only in it briefly last year for a couple of events...I think I noticed a stairway in the parking lot that's between the Hilton and Sheraton (on the opposite side of the street) that leads to the habitrail to the Marriott - am I right? Any info about that?Thanks for the info - I like to know what to expect ahead of time...Also - we'll be coming from the airport on MARTA - how far of a walk is it from there and which end should we exit the station through? ( I lose all sense of diresction underground... sigh...)Tags:sheraton, travel infoMood:geekyNote that Convention Registration will be moving to the Sheraton for 2009. That hotel will also be hosting several popular programming tracks including our British SF and TrekTrak programming, plus a 1,000-capacity ballroom for large programming events, including nighttime events.Was the a major announcement about this on the DC Homepage? We only found out about it when it was mentioned on another forum. And then I had to go hunting on the DC Homepage to verify that Registration had indeed been moved.Tags:registration, sheraton Hey fellow D*Con ers :PSo last year we made a reservation very close to the con. This year we were able to get a room at the Sheraton in January. Do I need to call and confirm at some point?Also, for next years con do I just grab a room at one of the host hotels ASAP and take it at the normal rate? This year I called and they didn't know anything about it (the code). Anybody do this frequently?Also, unrelated question, whats some good stuff to pack to eat in the room? We won't have a microwave or anything, just whatever is in the room, we'll have a small cooler, that's about it.Thanks in advance!Artist4life925 aka KrysTags:food, host hotels, sheratonLocation:Jim GaffiganMood:anxiousMusic:Living Room We're staying at the Sheraton for the first time... does anyone have any info on the rooms/services, etc. - anything you can share about it?

LOL We were only in it briefly last year for a couple of events...I think I noticed a stairway in the parking lot that's between the Hilton and Sheraton (on the opposite side of the street) that leads to the habitrail to the Marriott - am I right? Any info about that?Thanks for the info - I like to know what to expect ahead of time...Also - we'll be coming from the airport on MARTA - how far of a walk is it from there and which end should we exit the station through? ( I lose all sense of diresction underground... sigh...)Tags:sheraton, travel infoMood:geeky
Note that Convention Registration will be moving to the Sheraton for 2009. That hotel will also be hosting several popular programming tracks including our British SF and TrekTrak programming, plus a 1,000-capacity ballroom for large programming events, including nighttime events.Was the a major announcement about this on the DC Homepage? We only found out about it when it was mentioned on another forum. And then I had to go hunting on the DC Homepage to verify that Registration had indeed been moved.Tags:registration, sheraton Hey fellow D*Con ers :PSo last year we made a reservation very close to the con. This year we were able to get a room at the Sheraton in January. Do I need to call and confirm at some point?Also, for next years con do I just grab a room at one of the host hotels ASAP and take it at the normal rate? This year I called and they didn't know anything about it (the code). Anybody do this frequently?Also, unrelated question, whats some good stuff to pack to eat in the room? We won't have a microwave or anything, just whatever is in the room, we'll have a small cooler, that's about it.Thanks in advance!Artist4life925 aka KrysTags:food, host hotels, sheratonLocation:Jim GaffiganMood:anxious
