I've been looking into visiting Pittsburgh for Saturday and Sunday of the Grand Prix (checking in June 24th and checking out June 27th) and grinding side events these two days (I'm not interested in paying $75 to play standard on Friday, and this would save us from having to pay for an extra hotel night). It would be nice to find another 1-3 people to split the cost with. Right now, I'm looking into the downtown Hampton Inn, which has free breakfast, free wifi, free parking (huge for a downtown hotel!), and is a seven minute walk from the convention center.
The price for three nights would be roughly $700, which would come out to $350 per person for two people, $233 for three people, and $175 for four people. We could all do our own thing during the day at the Grand Prix (or, if you're a baseball fan like me, you could set a few hours aside for a Pirates game!), and then hang out and play some Magic/video games/Cards Against Humanity at night. Would be a pretty fun time, methinks!
If everyone wanted, we could spring for a fourth night (Thursday through Monday), which would be around $950, split accordingly.
As soon as we finalize plans, I would send out proof of reservation. Ideally, I would receive payment via Paypal before everyone arrives, but cash on site would be fine if that's all you can manage. We could also set up a Skype group or WhatsApp group to stay in touch and coordinate everything.
If you're interested, let me know either via PM or a post in this thread. Thanks!
I would be intensely aware of your property. Picking up random people over the internet to share a hotel with going to an high value event sounds dangerous. One guy waking up a few hours before everyone else and cleaning you out could be pretty bad.

I'd so be down! I just have a few stipulations.
1. You'd have to be okay with food in the hotel room
2. Since we'll be playing in the GP bed time will be 1:00am. We need our rest and to be able to function. Duh!
3. Don't be a sleepwalker. I know it's something that most people can't control, but if you find yourself sleep walking, please sleep walk back to bed.
4. Spooning. Under no circumstances will we NOT be spooning. If we're playing in the GP we need to be at 100% and spooning is the best way to recharge batteries. You can be the big spoon if you want.
5. Making a move is ONLY OKAY if neither of us has had Chipotle. I don't know about you but every time I split a room and Chipotle is had I end up having to pay a huge cleaning bill and have to deal with shocked faces of cleaning ladies as they call maintenance to have someone clean the walls.
6. I only use the regular brand of KY Jelly if you want to use the specialty stuff you'll be springing for that yourself.
7. Hanging out at the GP is okay, but remember to keep it professional. ...Unless you want to hook up in a broom closet.

Let me know if this works for you.
I'd even pay for this kind of offer.
...I'm going to Comic Con this year if you want to split a room ;D
