the 105 and 2 double bedrooms are gone

i'm not sure who my traveling buddy will be but if it's one of my guy friends i'd rather not be cheek to cheek with him so kept the suite I booked at 115

just an FYI for you other peoples

i thought you get a freebie?? I was reading a thread somewhere and it said one free for each 15? I was surprised that it didn't cause a bigger stink but I figure you've done a lot of leg work... and if you end up getting 2 free rooms then the second one can just be the post show post party location

I love the 1 review for this place on trip advisor. Sounds exactly like what we need.
"Hotel has a nice ambiance, great looking building. Nice rooms. Paper thin walls however, let you hear the TV and even conversation in the next room.

Don't book a room facing the busy street, which is a nightly hang out and very noisy.

Parking is across the street and in a lot that is always full.

Would not stay there again.

If we have half as much fun as I am expecting I could sleep in a dumpster and have a great time

no, it turns out i only get a complimentary room for every 30. that's the only hotel i arranged group rates for that's doing that for me, though. and for all the time i've spent on this, i think i deserve it.

Thank you moloko21 (and I'm not even Canadian lol [http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=120743]). I wouldn't have known where to stay. I have two questions:
1. Are all the rooms together including the $115 or are they else where.
2. How many people are walking and how many driving to and from the Aud? I remember sitting in the lot at the Ice Bowl in Wis. for a long long time before I could get out. Perhaps a 1.2 mile walk would be faster. Just wondering what everyone thought.

See ya 9-11-05

don't consider us all rude just because of what ed said - "Canada is like your grandmothers attic. You never go up there, and when you do, you look around and you go... what the fuck is all this shit?"

In case you are all wondering, according to Mapqeust, the Walper is about 1.24 miles (and that's if you stick to the roads) from the venue. Definitely walking distance.

hahaha, i like that quote. i was actually just referring to another thread that suggested that canadians are the only ones with manners.

by the way, here's the latest update from janet:

"For the night of September 11th, 2005, there are only twenty-nine rooms left
to sell in the Hotel. All of the rooms containing two beds have already

$105.00 plus 12% tax. The remaining rooms are the suites and they are
available @ $115.00 plus 12% tax. Some of the suites will have a queen bed
and a pullout sofa."

this is a bump

Made my reservation for the Walper yesterday.
Looks like a decent place. Requested the king room but
still waiting for the confirmation.

I'm coming solo from FLA so I am looking forward
partying with a hotel full of Jammers.

moloko21

bump... for those of you interested in joining us at the walper, i encourage you to try back with the hotel in the event you've been turned down for a room.

rooms at the group rate of $105CAN seem to have filled up, but there are still suites available for $115. there's also a distinct possibility that their will be openings at the lower rate, provided there are cancellations.

these group rates are guaranteed until aug. 1, or as long as there are still rooms at the hotel.

cheers,
joe

Anyone thought of getting a group together to party in the conference room there? How much could it cost?

Walper does better rates for wedding groups @ $99/room per night and that ain't in no block of 10.

if you think you can get a rate of $99 at this hotel, best of luck to you.
