I love Origins and I love the Games on Demand area. It’s a great large con with easy access to great food. They’re not so great about informing people about this. Like I’ve gone the last five years and they still don’t inform me when the hotel bookings open. Which they did. Last week. Origins has gotten more popular so rooms have gone fast. The closest connected hotels have sold out. I got a room at the Marriott Courtyard (abt. 5 min walk). So there are still some. I also know many folks have had great success with Air B&B with Origins. Anyway, here’s the hotel page for the con: http://originsgamefair.com/hotels/

Last year we ended up booking later but were very lucky to get Crown Plaza. It looks like CP is sold out this year. Thanks for the update.

I know some things do open up later. Last year we managed to book later at a non-con rate.

It’s always the same weekend as the Colmbus Pride festival and parade. That’s a fantastic event, but also takes up available housing. The parade’s amazing.

Yeah, it does get really crowded down there that weekend. I have never been to the parade. I’m usually in a game at that time.

We’ve never booked through Origins, always just booked direct through a hotel or expedia.
