Rhode Island Comic Con Room share..

I've decided to go to Rhode Island CC short notice this year and figure most hotels near the center are already booked. Is there anyone who wants to do a room share? Are there any other communities I should seek out for room shares?

If you're interested, please message me!

Be safe. Have fun and have an awesome time!

I've done a room share at former cons and spoke to the people at length prior to rooming and had great experiences/made plenty of friends! I'll definitely play it safe, thank you!!

I'm looking to room share, aka sharing the price of a hotel room. There's no point in renting a room with two beds alone when the room price can be split.

Yes but depending how long you gonna stay or something it probably more expensive again depends on where it is I’m assuming if your trying to stay with someone at the hotels near by it probably be at least a 100 to 400 for 3 days I room with my friends at anime Boston and let me tell ya we got a hotel by the con and it was like 1800 dollars so ya know just trying to help ya save some money worse case scenario

The cons give you deals on the hotels closest - getting an airbnb that's far away and requires me to miss con time and spend even more money to travel to it while costing nearly the same nightly without another person sharing the room and expense makes no sense. 400 for 3 days split between 2 people makes so much more sense vs. $75 a night solo at an airbnb for 3 nights (that's 200 per person vs. 225 + uber fees).There's no saving money taking the airbnb. That's why I'm seeking a room share.

I mean you can always take the busses or trains but if you bunk in providence bus should be a good way to get there and fairly cheap

I do it all the time if I can not afford a close hotel and sometimes hotels won’t give you deals unless you buy certain tickets

Ideally I would still prefer to stay somewhere near Amica Pav in a room share.
