Re: [89attendees] Enjoying the almost-every-meeting hotel grpe-fest

I completely agree with Ted. Minneapolis was a wonderful IETF destination.
London is wonderful too.

No IETF hotel is perfect. Personally, I really wish that I had a wired
Ethernet port in my hotel room -- I am quite jealous of those of you with
wired Internet access -- but the Terminal room works perfectly well for
those times that I need a better connection than is provided by the hotel
wireless, and otherwise I have been completely happy with this IETF venue.
