Otakon-ho-oh!
As an addendum to my post last night inquiring about rides and rooms (or if you know anybody looking for people to fill a room) for Otakon, I was curious, is the Mt. Vernon Hotel okay/in an okay area? The pictures on Priceline look like kind of like a hotel I visited two years ago, but while I remember it being a trek from the convention center, I have no clue where it was. Some of the reviews make the area sound sketchy, but my tolerance for sketchy might be higher than some other's. Of course, I might get something else bidding on Priceline.
