[UPDATE Friday, August 29th, 2008: We have been able to negotiate a similar $5-off-per-night deal for Macworld Expo 2009! We have posted an article with the details, or you can go straight to reserving your room at our special URL of https://resweb.passkey.com/go/MacObserver9 -- Dave]

[UPDATE Monday, December 4th: Thanks to all of you -- our great readers and listeners -- this block has sold out most nights. You can still check, but chances are the nights you want are gone. We've found that Harmon-E-Travel still has some great hotel deals left as well as discounts on airfare and rental cars, as well, and we recommend checking them out. Thanks again! We'll definitely do this next year for you all! --Dave]

Attention all Macworld Expo Attendees! TMO has worked with our friends at IDG World Expo and the Hotel Milano to secure you a discounted rate at a great hotel.

TMO readers can now reserve rooms for stays during Macworld Expo at the Hotel Milano for US$154 per night -- that's $5 less per night than the rate you'd get through Macworld Expo's web site. Over the course of a week, that adds up to real money, folks!

About the Hotel Milano

You see, we sent our own Bryan Chaffin (perhaps the pickiest of all TMO staffers when it comes to accomodations) to visit a series of hotels in San Francisco, and he chose the Milano. He found the Milano to be the best fit for us, and here's why:

• King Bed rooms are the largest of all the hotels we saw
• Very close to the show, especially now that the Expo is in Moscone West and South
• 3 to 4 bars of AirPort reception in each room surveyed
• Comfortable desks in every room
• Many King rooms have couches, to boot!
• Jacuzzi and Steam Room available (a TMO favorite after a long day on the show floor!)
• Can't beat it for the price

Reservation Details

You can visit https://resweb.passkey.com/go/TMO and that will list only the Hotel Milano, and with our special discounted rate. If you'd like to make your reservation over the phone, you can call 866-704-6724 or 506-637-0318 and use group code TMO2008 to get the special rate.

Cancelation Policy

TMO reservations may be changed, based upon availability, or canceled until 72 hours prior to arrival date without penalty. Cancellations received less than 72 hours prior to arrival date will be charged one-night's room and tax. TMO room rate is available on a first-come, first served basis. Rooms are limited and likely WILL sell out.

I thought I'd spend a day or two walking the floor but otherwise doing other touresty San Francisco things. Which days should I plan on being at the convention?

Hi David! I know I answered this via e-mail, but wanted to say the same thing out here. You'll definitely get more of the buzz coming in on Tuesday and Wednesday than you will arriving later like Thursday or Friday. That said, there are often more gimmees available on the show floor on Friday since everyone wants to get rid of the excess. If you can, come for the whole thing.
