>They offered to put me up in the Renaissance 5 blocks away,

The ICANN meeting a couple of years ago was at the Bayshore, and I
stayed at the Renaissance because the Bayshore was full.  When we were
there, the weather was unseasonably severe, with temperatures plunging
below 0 C and snow blown into drifts as much as 1 or 2 cm deep.* The
locals were all moaning and groaning about it.

I agree that bumping people at the last minute is really tacky,
although probably out of their control if a contractor tore up the
rooms they were planning to rent you and hasn't finished.  But even if
there's a shuttle, you'll walk because it's much faster than waiting
around for the bus and it's a nice walk along the Coal Harbour
waterfront.

Dining suggestions: there's a very elegant looking place called Lift
on the seawall in front of the Bayshore; skip it other than perhaps
for a drink, overpriced food and dreadful service.  Cardero's, a large
noisy place in the marina you pass between the two hotels was better
than you'd expect.

R's,
John

* - on closer inspection it was mostly road salt, of which they used a
vast amount.
