The problems in Chicago were not just caused by the renovations, it was the discourteous and pig headed attitude of the management to them.
On two days they attempted to close the main throughfare from the third floor to the lobby so that they could seat a private party of four for lunch. I pointed out to the management that this was exceptionally inconvenient and that I didn't think that people would be very willing to tolerate this a second day running.
The point is though that a competent management would have realized that it is simply not acceptable to inconvenience 500 people by catering a party in a corridor.
Perhaps a word to the Vancouver hotel management might pre-empt similar behavior.

That's uh, not good.
This actually raises another issue as well: in Chicago a number
of sessions were badly disrupted by renovation noise. It's
probably worth acting now to ensure that that isn't a risk
in YVR.
