More often than not, I find hotels have inadequate resources even when I'm _not_ attending an event that would attract an unusually high proportion of internet-centric guests.

That was certainly nice, but I suspect the IAOC would have a lot of trouble finding a sufficient set of venues and hotels that could all do that.
