>>10878099Bare minimum and worst case scenario is when you are sleeping on a bed with one other bedmate. Three or more to a bed is rodent-tier, and you will feel like shit every single night without exception. Cost-wise, at that point you had better be paying $200 MAXIMUM or you are actively being retarded.
That being said, the comfy threshold will ultimately depend on your own finances and capacity to meet your own desired rooming situation, but what I'd personal regard as minimum for an ideal rooming situation is:
>One person to each bed(couples exempt, but everybody splits costs evenly) >Roommates you already know, nobody you cannot account for>Hotel still spoken for during the last day of the con, so you can choose if you want to go home immediately or not (This gives you time to consider partying extremely hard the second-to-last night of the con if you're that type, but also you can leisurely peruse the stalls for final day sales, last-minute events, last-minute photo ops with those few cosplayers still lingering around, passively getting contact information, and even just hanging out with your roommate[s:lit] for one last day at the ass end of the con) >Food, drinks, etc. in the room so you can choose to feed yourself without needing to eat out every single meal (and most especially have available water handy)>Some degree of direct passage to the convention, be it a train, bus, or a shuttle that's near the hotel, or simple adjacency to the con center, to make sure at your worst, you can get to and from without calling Uber and the like every time you need to goI've managed to have all of this for about $4-500 for a 4-day con on regular occurrence, but sometimes I'll go up to a max of $700 if I wind up rooming alone and want to spoil myself for the whole length of the con. Anything beyond that is excessive, poor planning, or unwillingness to budge on some factor that could otherwise cut costs by a significant amount.
