+1 for Minneapolis.
<tp>
Minneapolis is the only location that I can recall where I missed my connecting flight back to Europe.
Keeping in mind that was 15 years ago, MSP is a hub for Delta and has
nonstops to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Seoul, and Tokyo, that might not
be as big a problem now.
Seems to me that the fact that the hotel declines to bid for our business is the show stopper.
I suspect that given our (that is, the IETFs) special requirements for a
network, and how we tend to take over the common areas, I suspect we wear out
our welcome at some venues. They probably decide we are too much trouble to deal
with.
At least for some hotels in the past this has been opposite the case. We could ask someone who is in a better position to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure we fixed more than 1 hotel's wifi setup/network for them. And this is totally anecdotal, but I've heard from various employees over the years that they loved us. Apparently we are pretty nice as a group -- even if we do odd things like sit on the floors of their Distinguished Hotel (thinking of the Peabody here :)
Thanks,
Chris.
