Re: [116attendees] Hotel choices

[Margaret Cullen <[e-mail]>]

It’s a difficult call…. Usually a lot of IETF people stay at the main hotel, which means we gather in the lobby bar, dinner groups meet in the lobby, etc.  That doesn’t tend to work as well when the meeting is in an unattached convention center, though.

Another problem with convention center meetings can be food availability.  Are there enough places to eat in/near the convention center that we can get lunch over there?

Is the path to Pacifico North more complicated than I think from the Square and it's a worse trip? Does someone know something awful about the Square?

Having a well managed network can be a substantial advantage (as is access to the meeting rooms, code lounge, etc.). Does anyone know whether the network will be run to rooms at the Intercontinental? It seems like it would be quite an undertaking to do that.
