So my friend and I will most likely be going to the SL Convention in August and although the sponsered hotel looks really nice, $129/night is too steep for students. We're looking into staying at the hostel, which is directly adjacent to the convention center—talk about convenience. It's right on the bay with views of the GG bridge. Problem is although I've been hosteling before, and love it, sometimes we just don't feel like sharing a room with 10 strangers (the lockers are NEVER big enough :) ).

Here's my thought: A private 4 bunk room at the hostel is $100/night. If we find 2 other people then it's basically the same price per person as the regular hostel rate ($22/night). I know some other SLers will be staying there, so we wouldn't be totally excluded from the fun.

Nothing definate yet, I just want to see if there's any interest in this!

Best,

Simon
