The Secret to Getting Cheap Rooms at SC11

Getting a hotel room at the last minute for a big show like SC11 can be quite an expensive proposition–until now. A couple of weeks ago I interviewed Bob Diener, founder of GetARoom.com and he told me about the special unpublished rates they offer to customers who dial their 800 number.

Since insideHPC has a booth this year (come see us on the 6th floor at Booth #5410) we needed rooms for more staff. I called GetARoom and they set me up in downtown Seattle for only $63 per night! Your mileage may vary, but I’m a customer for life.
