Hotel Info:
For the hotel, there are two options. Apex has rented out a number of rooms reserved for those who would like to rent them (not the entire hotel):

First Option: Official Apex Hotel Hyatt
We have worked out a deal once again with the Hyatt Regency New Brunswick.


Two Albany Street
New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA 08901
Tel: +1 732 873 1234

The hotel is conveniently located down the road from the venue and available at a discounted price (Around 1 mile from venue, no cab necessary). See the instructions below for booking and rates.

RESERVATIONS PROCESS & BOOKING WEBSITE

ONLINE RESERVATIONS ONLY the link below will take you to a site dedicated toward making your reservation quick and easy. You will be able to make, modify and cancel your hotel reservations online, as well as take advantage of any room upgrades, amenities or other services offered by the hotel.

To view the website, please click the following link:

Please click here to book your room

Here are the current room rates:

Single Occupancy $119
Double Occupancy $119
Triple Occupancy $144
Quadruple Occupancy $169
Suites $219
The “cut-off date” is 12/19/2011. Reservation requests received after the cut-off date will be based on availability at the Hotel’s prevailing rates and will be credited to the Group’s Guest Room Block.


Second Option: Howard Johnson
Georgia and I stayed at a different hotel for Apex 2010, which is in the same location for 2012:

Click Here for a link to their website

Rates per night average $60. It is too far away to walk (3-4 miles away), so If you stay here you will have to do what we did, which is get a van cab. The cab ride was 14 dollars, and the van can fit 7 people (so $2 per person each way)


Confirmed Housing:
Option 1 - Hyatt Regency
Nick Riddle & Brianna - Friday to Monday - No open slots

Option 2 - Howard Johnson
GDX
2link
2link sister
Blubba

Option 3 - Other housing
ESAM - housing with Pane Thursday to Monday
Mink - housing with Dapuffster Wednesday to Thursday, with viper Friday-Monday
Seibrik - housing with friend Thursday
Kuro - housing with friend Wednesday, possibly Thursday


Confirmed list that needs some type of housing (so we know how many rooms are necessary)

Ok, so Xaltis, DJ Jack, MVD, and I are driving up to Atlanta Wednesday, flying into LGA Thursday ~noon, and then leaving monday at idr what time.

I'm teaming with MVD and I'm guessing Danny/Taylor are teaming with each other.

I'm staying with Pane every night :D

Hey

So, i'm flying in on the 4th (Wednesday) from Southwest airlines, leaving from Orlando at 7:20am.
I'm leaving NY on the 9th, at 10am, same flight as Kuro.

Wed/Thurs i'm staying with Dapuffster.

I'd like to stay with FGCU for friday, saturday and sunday. But as far as i know they have nothing confirmed.

That's my info though. I vote howard johnson.
It's alot cheaper.

How would that work if we all shared a room? Like who would book it and how much would it cost us each?
depends on who has the total money to book (if the hotel requires payment up front. most hotels dont charge you until the weekend itself) and which hotel we stay at (for the amount per person)

IDGAF im getting a bed Friday night this time

and thanks garret. Id imagine you guys would discuss as a group which hotel. Im personally down for the Howard Johnson, since its over half the price of the other...even two rooms is cheaper than the main hotel. But everyone might not be down for a van cab fare $2 each way so you guys will have to discuss it

Edit: and ill correct it danny

Okay so I just spoke with Alex Strife over AIM. Charges wont be applied to a card until checkout.

Anyone who wants to buy into the room will have plenty of time to come up with the money.

I'd rather go for money > other smashers personally.

Espeically if it's saving 2-3 meals worth.
Not to mention the only difference we'd be paying for is like, what, more room? How much time are we chillin' in the room?

It'd be nice to be able to walk to the tourney though.

@Mink

My SG senator and I made a rough draft of the bill a few hours ago. He is going to run it by other senators in SG then he and the other sponsors for the bill will make a final draft.

That Draft will be in legislation for 2 weeks. Then it will hit the floor and get voted on. Right now it looks like i will be able to confirm in ~3 weeks. What the senate and i agree to might not be what is on the final draft once it get through legislation.

This is what is on the Bill. We will be Flying American Airlines, arriving early on the 6th. We will be staying in one room for 3 nights 6-9th. We check out and leave on the 9th and take the plane back to Ft Myers in the morning.

The final draft is for 8 people to go. Senate might push it to 6 in legislation, it will pay for round trips and housing at the Hyatt for the 3 nights. Food and registration are on the club members but we are going to reduce the cost of registration by fund raising we have around 120 so far.

If it all works out and all 8 can fly it will be great. If only 6 can go it is still ****ing awesome that i got my school to sponsor the trip to APEX 2012!

^^ Yeah that's ****ing sick.

If you guys get one room, you're gonna squeeze me in there right?!
Yeah with out a doubt.

You helped me build the scene at this school from nothing. This is an accumulation of all the hard work that has been put in. I would have it no other what then for you to be apart of it.

We still consider you part of the Smash scene over here at FGCU.

Like really i could not have dreamed this up when i started playing here its just awesome.
