As someone else who made reservations in early September and was told
today that they are canceling my reservation, I would be very interested
to know how many people have been affected by this last minute change.
Although I am perhaps more comfortable than Yaakov with walking outdoors
in sub-freezing temperatures, I made my reservations at the Bayshore to
ensure that early-morning (or late-night) travel would not be required.
Furthermore, I am generally quite unhappy with having my confirmed
reservation revoked with only 5 days notice; especially when the reason
for revocation is 'renovations', an event that can hardly be considered
unforeseeable.
I will be certainly be writing letters to the Bayshore and their parent
company to express my displeasure, and I hope that the IETF will
remember this week's events the next time it considers holding a meeting
at a Starwood Hotel.
