    Okay...I went with the Comfort Inn on Columbus...is that within walking distance of the Parkway?

    I can't wait for this!!! :clap:

    Not in my opinion, and that is why I chose another hotel. But marcos said it should be easy to get a cab from there and back.

    I'm sure we'll figure it out, I looked at the Sonesta too but I couldn't pull the trigger on the price!

    Yea it was like 50 bucks more than the Comfort Inn, but I figured I would say a few bucks by not taking a cab.

    It's not walking distance but very easy to catch a cab public transportation there and back. It's a couple blocks from the Old City area which is where I live.

    I'll be doing public transportation or cab riding back to Old City for the Wishlist after party thing. I'll share all the info I get on public transportation like bus schedules and such once they announce the day. And if you want more info on Old City and the area, PM me I'll get you all the good stuff. They opened an awesome beer garden this summer right next door to your hotel.

    This is the joint. Nice place. We walked all over the 2 days we were there. Don't make a ruckus in the lobby or they stare at you. :fp:
