I heard there was no snow last year. So might not be too badOtherwise, getting some buffalo wings after the exam!
I booked Hilton Garden Inn Downtown a while back. It's a 5 minute walk to the convention center. There's a few hotels around the area too but i wanted to stay somewhere where i could walk in case it gets too cold!

I booked the same hotel too. Hey Neighbor! It was on a pretty good deal on Hotels.com back in October. I stayed at the Adam's Mark last time and it was fine, walkable within 10 minutes, there was no snow and it was actually pretty pleasant. The second day it rained on the way back to the hotel. Downside, they didn't let us in our room until 3pm on Monday, so all of us that took that 5am flight from FL and then spent all day in the lobby studying weren't happy. There also wasn't a shuttle (which I made sure Hilton Garden had one) to/from the airport. So that was an extra $70 b/c the taxicab drivers are scam artists. Make sure they turn on the meter!

Hi neighbour! I'm getting there a few days earlier (coming in from another country - foreign), hotel shuttle sounds nice but you have to call them right?
Any idea if there's a phone store at buffalo airport? Need to purchase a sim card first.
You guys pre-ordering lunch?

I think so. Unless you're lucky and there is someone that needs the shuttle at the same time and they just happen to be running. I would find out. I'm not sure about a phone store at the airport. I'll be flying in from Florida. I am going to pre-order again. It wasn't super great food, but it was very convenient and they had a big ballroom with tables. I grabbed my notes from the coat room and refreshed while ate. It's overpriced but worth the extra money. Plus if it's really cold or raining (which it was the second day) you don't want to be running around trying to find a place to eat. Unless you want to walk back to the hotel.

Is anyone else taking it in Albany? Anything you've learned about the location that may be worthwhile to know in advance? I booked at the Hilton Garden near the Medical Center. Says it was a mile away and cost like $240/night. Moderately obscene pricing but whatever.

I took (and passed) it at the Armory last July. I brought my lunch to the site. It's fairly organized. You'll have enough time to eat and gloss over some notes.
