3. Where do I park my car?
   Check our Driving and Parking pages for assistance on getting here by car.
4. Will you book a hotel room for me?
   No. Except for Guests of Honor and Providence Anime Conference staff, See our Hotel Information page for more details.
5. What happens if the hotel fills up before I reserve a room?
   When a hotel fills up, you'll have to find a hotel room someplace else. We might have a big convention center, but hotel space IS limited. If the Westin Providence fills early, we may talk to nearby hotels about overflow space, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to arrange space elsewhere.
6. Why do I need a hotel room? Can't I just sleep in a video room or in the lobby?
   Anyone caught sleeping in any function room (video room, panel room, etc) will be removed from the room. If we catch you sleeping multiple times, we will ask you to leave the conference. Anyone found sleeping in the lobby will be asked to leave by the hotel. Save yourself the trouble and get a room.
7. Do I have to tip the hotel people?
   You should. It's how a lot of the hotel staff make their living. Refer to our handy Tipping Guide for information on what tips are expected in return for various services.
8. Is there a pool at the Westin Providence?
   Yes. There is an indoor heated pool and fully equipped Captial Club fitness center available to all hotel guests. Please note that you must be a hotel guest if you wish to use the pool or fitness facilities.
9. Do the Westin Providence TVs have AV inputs?
   We don't know this yet. As soon as we do, we'll tell you.
