>> I am sure you can find something to stay for the duration. The question isn't whether there's other hotels in Philadelphia, of course there are, although it wouldn't be easy to find something as nice, and close as the Doubletree for $169 which is quite a good price for Center City. I was wondering why the Doubletree doesn't have the block of rooms available that they promised to the IETF. The reservation agent said she saw the room block, but it didn't have rooms Thursday like it did for the rest of the week. Unless there's a vast number of IETFers only staying Thursday night, which seems rather unlikely, Hilton didn't provide the room block they said they would. I would have thought their long term agreement with the IETF would prevent just this kind of problem.
