David, Let me take a stab at answering this. First of all, while it may not be obvious, you DO NOT need to be a Priority Club member in order to reserve a room. AMS is trying to get the link fixed so that this will be clearer. For now, you can just enter the desired arrival and departure dates. For some reason, if you already ARE a Priority Club member the page does not seem to load properly, anyway... that's being worked on hopefully :-) The ANA does indeed have a limited number of non-smoking rooms, but I know the hotel is well aware that most IETFrs will want non-smoking rooms and they will do their best to accommodate you (even if the reservation system may not indicate availability). Also, I stayed in an official *smoking* room at this hotel back in November and they had "air cleaned" it prior to my arrival. I had no issues, the room seemed as "clean" airwise as any non-smoking room I've stayed in anywhere in the world. Ole Ole J.
