The link doesn't seem custom to each person

Having people still pick 6 hotels tells me it's not so much a lottery anymore.

Marriott gaslamp's nice but they'll charge for wifi and it's $40/day parking.

All my downtown choices were available, despite getting 12000. Two in my group started with sub 2000, so I like our chances.

Well then.

Also I was hoping maybe calling would get me around the waitroom (but still had waitroom up as backup). Sadly if you were thinking of doing the same thing next year, they got smart and basically said "yeah, if you want to actually get a downtown hotel, this is not the way to do it."

Not to count eggs before hatching but what's the process for transferring a room to someone else? You can always just change the names involved right

You should be able to get a room, it just won't be down town but out in hotel circle. The registration is currently closed but once it reopens you should be able to pick up a room.

I got a room last minute a couple years back and had to stay way south practically on the tj border but it was on the trolley line so it was actually pretty easy to go back and forth. I think it was just a solid 40ish minute ride so no middle of the day naps or anything.

Yeah, it's super weird. The two other people in my party haven't received anything either. But the link I got certainly takes me to the right place.

Although remember, onPeak is just TPHousing with a new name. It's the same shitshow company it was last year, just new flashier colours.

I was in the 1100s and got T&C too. My buddy got the Westin gaslamp as his #3, I think I aimed too high. Should have had the foresight to put some less contested downtown hotels on the list.

vvv I feel you, mate. I was so loving good at it the rest of my group never even bothered. Two of them just got their waitlist emails.
