Yaakov, I could be
wrong but I was under the impression that the IETF was already providing a
shuttle service as the Renaissance was the designated overflow hotel. Stuart Goldman Alcatel-Lucent sgoldman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 602 493 8438 P please

[mailto:yaakov_s@xxxxxxx] The Westin Bayshore just called me to
tell me that they are undergoing renovations, and so unfortunately they are kicking me out of the room
that I had reserved in early September. They offered to put me up in the Renaissance 5 blocks away, but, when asked, told me that the night time temperatures
are close to, or below freezing. I am sure that many of you consider zero Celsius a
reasonable temperature, but I don't. The hotel would not tell me how many people were being
relocated in this fashion, but apparently there are many. I made travel plans based on a confirmation from the hotel
that the IETF selected as venue, and less than a week before
arrival the hotel throws me out with no recourse. I then asked the hotel if they were going to provide a
shuttle service, and they said that they would have to consider it. I think that the IETF should insist on this as minimal
compensation for those who are being downgraded in this fashion. Y(J)S |
