There is usually a spread, it almost always favors the IETF bookers. This year the hotels offered with an RSA booking were the same as last year with slightly lower prices. Most people book early because they usually fill up quickly for RSA. When I booked my flight I was offered the Hyatt Union Square, usually $250/night during RSA week for $110/night. Sure, it does happen, but my experience has been that the IETF hotel is usually overbooked and there are no rooms left to make a comparison. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
