Just wanted to mention that you don't need to stay at the convention hotel in order to attend. So if someplace else works out better, that's not a problem! Staying at the con hotel can be very convenient if you want to run up to your room to drop off things or retreat for a bit or whatever, but it is indeed quite pricey, and there are other hotel options nearby that will still give you easy access to the con :-)

Richard thanks for the reply and your assistance! :D I was in fact looking for other hotels nearby, since the flight (at least for me... sooo faaaaaaar awaaaaay) is going to be pretty expensive on its own...
Yes, I agree that having the room in the same hotel will really be pretty convinient, but I can manage a short distance from/to the Sheraton ;)
In any case I'm hope to suggestions from whoever wants to share a room, don't be shy I don't bite!

I'm not sure who already has roommates from the earlier posts, so I'll just post what I have. I currently have a two bed queen room reserved and I'll be bringing an additional air mattress with me. I'm looking for 2-3 roommates to join me, or if there's some others that would like to go still cheaper, I could let me reservation go and join you with my mattress. I'm trying to save for GC extras plus I want to make a pre-GateCon detour to Tofino:) Let me know. Thanks, Christy

There used to be a small hotel down the road a little - on the same block as the London Drugs, iirc - that was a bit cheaper than the con hotel. I don't know if it's still there or what the rates are like now (the last time I was there was something like 9 or 10 yrs ago since the '80 and '10 cons were at the Wall Centre), so you can probably check that one out.

Hi HighlanderII =D
Thank you for the info!!! I'm gonna check that one out! I've found a hotel just across from where the Sheraton is, like a 2/3 minutes walk
according to google maps and I'm gonna see if thay have a room aviable from the 6th untill 16/18th... Hopefully I can stay there
for the whole period since with the occasion I'd like to visit Vancouver (not sure I could affort another trip like this in
the short period so I'd better make the most out of it)
