I haven't tried the IETF breakfast, so I can't comment. But I seem to recall last time here (I may be wrong as that was a long time ago), they fed us in the restaurant all week, and that it was at least okay. I wonder why they changed?

Most hotels seem to get better at handling the IETF over multiple visits. I guess 13 years is too long between reinforcements :-)
