One of your big challenges to finding hotels in walking distance, is that FIRST specifically holds the closest hotels for Volunteers. Especially since most of them spend 8 or more hours on their feet. They want to give them the closest places to stay. Those rooms are held for them until after all assignments are made. Then rooms will begin to open up at nearby hotels for teams. The Drury across the street from the Dome/Convention Center is specifically held for FIRST Staff and FTA's.
