solved with: "do not stay in the ietf hotel"
especially if you can find a better rate at a 'not ietf hotel' hotel.
(as I have done in paris, toronto, berlin, orlando (ick!), london...)
[MB] Well, good luck with that! The IETF hotel is in the heart of the resort area and from what I have found the IETF rate is pretty darn good, in particular considering they are not charging the $30 per day resort fee. Please do post alternative hotels that are significantly cheaper than the IETF hotel after you make your own reservation. I looked at VRBO and homeaway and renting an apartment/condo can save you a little bit, but not a significant amount. [/MB]
good luck folks!
