Nope. I have 3 devices with me and none of them was able to get on the network reliably.

Not sure what you mean here.. I only get the two "ietf-hotel" and "honors" networks.

I will.. but I do not think it is a client-specific issue as I tried with different devices

I totally understand that getting the network of the hotel up to standards is a very challenging task. But this is not the first time the meeting is held here, right? 

I wonder if this is related to IETF budget allocation (e.g. Not enough funds for the networking infrastructure update)... ???

I hope they will be able to fix this ... people need to work after the sessions end.. :-) If not even the IETF noc can not fix the issues.. maybe this hotel should not be on the IETF radar for our meetings in the future...???

Cheers,
Max
