    Which rooms, specifically, are these by the way? So those of us intent on sharing living space know exactly how many places we have to put bodies down to sleep?

    Looks like there isn't much of a choice, 1 King or 2 doubles, so one would think 2 doubles. Not a bad price since the rooms are $279 (CAD) normally.

    Yeah, upon a second look I got that too. I was just wondering if "luxury" referred to the hotel itself or to some sooper dooper nifty fancy rooms we were restricted to.

    Two doubles certainly works.

    There won't be for the main event during the day but we'll all most likely end up at a bar of some fashion after the QA/tour/etc., so you might wanna take the little dude back home before coming out that evening. XD

    Most hotels will also accomodate you with an extra cot ("cot" being a single bed that they roll in the room, and they're usually quite decent). So, that's a body count of 5 per room, without counting anyone who has a double-deck single air mattress (we did that last January in Maine).

    So, if you can survive with a single shower for 6 and sharing fridge space for the beer ('cause booze don't need no frigging fridge space, yarr!), then you're in for a deal.

    And the Marriot is a reasonable hotel. It's still a hotel (I'm not a fan of hotels, so unless it's a bloody *palace*, the best it will rank in my eyes is "good"...)

    The website is a little unclear on that. It says, "You may not use a cot" and then two lines below that it says "You my not have more than 1 cot per room". I suspect that means you can have a cot, but you can't use it. :O

    I usually take 2 showers per day. More if I do any physical exercise. And since I'm a girl, each shower takes 1hour. :3 I cant survive w/o a dedicated shower. /me go to a corner and shout: I wanna go! T.T

    As time goes on, it looks like I'm less and less likely to make it, which is a real bummer.

    at nearly $200 for travel alone, and then nearly as much a night for a hotel... Not the easiest trip for me, what with graduating this May. I'm still going to try, dammit!

  11. #51
    What sort of timeframe are we looking at in terms of events, for those of us who might end up going with a bus or train instead of driving out there?

    No cots, but an allowance for one crib, is what I figured out. So thats probably where the weird info is.

    1. Go to the hotel website (linked in the original post).
    2. Click "Explore our hotel".
    3. Under "In this section", click on "Guest rooms".
    4. Expand each room and click on the "Room amenities" tab for details about the rollaway bed.


    Guest room, 1 King or 2 Double:
    Maximum cribs/rollaway beds permitted: 1

    Guest room, 1 King or 2 Double, City view:
    - Rollaway beds permitted: 1

    Concierge level, Guest room, 1 King:

    Public transportation

    Distance between the Marriott Château Champlain and Funcom's offices

    That's loosely a 10-15 minutes walk.

    If you're not going to stay at the Marriott, you can look up the public transportation:
    STM (Société de transport de Montréal).

    If you use the metro: http://www.stm.info/English/metro/a-heures.htm
    The closest station is Guy / Concordia, on the green line.

    If you use the bus, the closest bus stops are:
    52293 - Sainte-Catherine / Bishop
    52237 - Guy / Ste-Catherine O.
    52195 - Guy / de Maisonneuve
    (you'll need the bus stop number to look for itinerary and schedule on the STM website).

    Hmm.. I can, personally, jog/walk fast for 30 minutes w/o breaking a sweat.
    There are other activities which shouldn't be mentioned here though.

    Depends totally where you live - Back home in Mississippi, during the summer? If you so much as dared step out of your nice air-conditioned house you started pouring sweat. Somehow, in lain's case, I get the feeling that Brazil isn't much less humid than we were back home. XD

    That would, of course, depend on where you live. I challenge you to come to my front yard and sit in a chair for 30 minutes without breaking a sweat.

    Pff. Come jog where then. I bet you will be all sweat with first symtoms of insolation and a bit dehidrated after those same 30min :3 Our sun is OP. Ever if you are under a shadow, the sun will manage to send his heat wave direct in your face.
