Discounted MAGFest rooms are now available for the price of $99/night (1-4 people per room, kings and doubles). Hotels call our type of hotel block "run of house" which means that you can choose what kind of room you want but once that type of room is gone, it's gone, so if they run out of doubles, you might get stuck with a king bed. If you contact us, we might be able to help, but no guarantees so reserve early!

If you don't want to call the hotel, you can reserve your room for MAGFest online by clicking the link at the top of this site.

Last year the hotel oversold our room block, because they rock. We've got that room block once again, but please, don't reserve at the last minute because there are no guarantees they will do it again for us! You'll get slim pickings on a room at best, NO room at worst. Call at least a couple months in advance. When we announce the room block is open on the website, you can get one, and until we announce the hotel is full on the website, the hotel is still accepting room registrations. Lastly, our group code is "MAG". Make sure to mention that, "Music and Gaming Festival", or "magfest" when you talk to the hotel.

There are a ton of reasons to stay at the MAGFest hotel:

  • It's a lot more fun! It's easy to go downstairs and play games in the middle of the night.
  • You'll be nextdoor to MAGFest-goers. Make friends with your neighbors without worrying that they're a businessman.
  • It's cheap! We arranged for $100/night at the hotel, including parking, cheaper than almost all other conventions.
  • The more rooms we fill, the happier our hotel is.
  • You'll get a discount on parking!
