Is that SHUTTLE reference to the arena or to/from the airport?

Shuttle to game

2 TIX TO THE GAMEquote]

Are those passes for the entire weekend or just tickets for the day you stay over?

[profudge]

I am also interested and would like to understand the details.

    -  $129 / for a night and 2 tix that day for 2 in the room ??

       --> then you'd need another $129 and get 2 tix for Sat and stay Sat night ?

interesting offer,  but hard to find details.

[Jordan 04]

Yes, tickets are only for the night of your stay.

Thank you, going to reserve a room.

Tix are in section 117. Not very good, however, moving is not usually a problem for this tourney.

Bear in mind that, as the shuttle to the game indicates, this is not the Hilton Garden Inn that's downtown within walking distance to the arena. (On the other hand, it is a reasonable walk to a number of good bars and restaurants along Lark Street.)

Glad you added that.  Thank you!

Just to clarify, there is no Hilton Garden Inn downtown.  There is, however, a Hampton Inn, also brought to you by the Hilton Family.

You're right, I completely confused the two.  ::doh::

Another clarfication...the tournament takes place on Friday and Saturday 3/19 and 3/20, not 3/20 and 3/21.

Also, the Albany Med Garden Inn has indoor parking attached to the hotel in Albany Med's garage.  Downstairs is a pretty good sportsbar, the Hotel gym and a Starbucks.  If you celebrate too hard, the Albany Med Emergency Room is easily accessible by indoor pedestrian bridge from the hotel.::drunk::

I stayed at the hotel in question for a conference.  Rooms are quite nice, and you can pick up free wireless that wafts over from the Albany Medical Center if your room is on the close side of the hotel.
