It's a bit farther out, but there's a shuttle. Now to weigh ~$100 vs. walking distance and figure out which room to keep and which to free up for someone else who needs one.

I actually listed my backup hotel among my top 5 choices, since it's a decent location and I could save ~$20/day over the rate I got booking directly. SDCC is the only con I've been to for 4 days (actually 4.5 last year, since I went to preview night), but that's partly because it's so frakking BIG that it takes several days to see everything, especially if you're going to any panels or events.

It's kind of interesting to hear that the con discounts are significant since MegaCON's hotel discount was anything but... for certain years, anyway. This year, I didn't check the rates from the con website versus those quoted by going through the hotel, directly. Even a ten dollar discount x 4, as you say, adds up nicely. Hm. I've never gone to a con for that many days. 3, tops, iirc. .-= West’s latest blog post: <a href="http://west3man.blogspot.com/2009/03/npr-and-tale-of-forgiveness.html" rel="nofollow">NPR and a Tale of Forgiveness</a> =-.
