If the room type is the same, and you let them know in advance, I think you should be able to keep the same room.

 

At the Taipei IETF, I had 3 different bookings at the hotel where I stayed, but didn't have to change room :)

 

Regards,

I was just able to get a Tapa Resort view room with two double beds as my only option, at $235/night, though our block was supposed to be $50/night cheaper.  I could only get it Saturday through Saturday as well.

Ticket opened with the Secretariat.

I booked the IETF block the nights it was available, and hotels.com for the nights it wasn't. We'll see how many room changes that translates into!

I was just able to book king bed resort room - but only from Sunday through to Saturday.

It would seem to be an issue if you want to come a day or two early though (not available Friday and Saturday before IETF starts)

Subject: Hawaii Block - going, going....

I saw the email for the Hawaii IETF registration when I got home about 30 minutes ago.  I immediately got online to book the hotel, and as of 12:48 (exactly 3 hours after the announcement), all of the Ocean View rooms are gone as well as the King bed resort view rooms, leaving only the 2 Double Bed  resort view rooms.  Impressive take rate (assuming at least somewhat even distribution between King and DB rooms).

I wouldn't be surprised to find the block filled by sometime tomorrow.
