Hey there, I have a group of first timers coming with me to gencon, this will be my 3rd time, last was in 09, wasn't quite as hard to get a room then. We currently have a room at the Hyatt by the airport but would love a downtown room, if anyone has one to get rid of my email is rholmes0806@gmail.com 
Thanks in advance! 

bumping this, hopefully theres a generous soul out there that wants to help us out!

I have a room at the holiday inn express, northwest. Currently I am the only person in it. I've had a couple other people show interest, but nothing solid yet. It's about a 15 minute drive from the convention center. If you're interested, shoot me an email at cmscarbrough1977@gmail.com

I have a downtown hotel res I won't be using. Super nice hotel. 2 blocks from the convention center. Check out The Conrad Hotel downtown. King bed. You can probably get a roll away or bring an air mattress if you're driving in.

Cost is about 599+ tax per night total.

So for 4 people its only about 150/night!

Let me know if you're interested.
