The Hyatt Centric underwent a huge makeover last year, and offers stylish and comfortable accommodations! Their onsite restaurant, CIMA, is worth checking out even if you’re not staying at the Centric. It’s only a 10 min MFF shuttle ride to the convention center.

The Spark finished their renovations earlier this year, and the rooms look great! They offer their own shuttle to the convention center (only 10 min away), and every room includes free breakfast. The onsite restaurant offers a discount to all MFF attendees, too!
