Pycon 2009 Hotel?

[jay graves]

I'm attending Pycon this year and for the first time I have to pay for
myself. (All training/conference budgets have been zeroed out at my
company.)

I would like to take the cheaper option by staying at the Crowne Plaza
but as I understand it, the part of the conference I'll be attending
will be held at the Hyatt Regency. I don't mind the walk but I also
don't want to miss out on the open spaces in the evening.

Is anyone else similarly on the fence? I'd like to save $130 ((153 -
100) * 3) but since I'm not staying for the sprints and alot of my
enjoyment of the conference is the open spaces.

(Sorry. i hit 'Send' too quickly.)

I'm wondering if I'm being 'penny-wise and pound-foolish'? I'd hate
to spend all that money to get there and then not enjoy it because I
was at the 'other' hotel.

As I understand it, the hotels are connected via a skywalk, so I don't
think it will be a big deal either way. It just means a little extra
walking.
