Hotels on the Shuttle Route?

Does anyone happen to know which hotels will be on the VMworld shuttle route? The only thing in the hotel confirmation email was "select hotels".

 

Very useful.

Re: Hotels on the Shuttle Route?

I guess this answer our question:

 


Will transportation be provided for VMworld 2012?
No, there will be no shuttle service between hotels and Moscone Center for the conference.

That's great. Thanks a lot for tracking this down. Wish they'd make it more prominent.

Re: Hotels on the Shuttle Route?

To Larry and Malery - I will buy you a drink for getting this info out early.

Much much thanks!

 

I didn't care much about the .7 mile / 9 block walk when I booked it, but I have since broken my foot

and was worried I'd go broke from taxi rides on the trip. Phew, the hotel has/is "close" to a shuttle route.

Re: Hotels on the Shuttle Route?

Stephen, you are welcome

 

Yeah tell me about it for the cabs, you can easily go broke, I plan to use MUNI transport because I'm not that close to the Moscone or walk to Union Square and get the shuttle there on the St. Francis. My only concern now is going back to the hotel after the parties LOL.
