Re: Hawaii Block - going, going....

A very quick search for room from Nov 9-14 shows availability of rooms at the Aqua Palms Waikiki for $139 a night (including taxes) and it's probably closer to the convention center than some of the Hilton towers. And it has a better rating on trip advisor than the Hilton.

The Equus for $165 a night looks even better.  Great reviews--far better than the Hilton's. And lots more. The Doubletree has rooms for $216/night.

All reasonable, close, and with good ratings--all better than the Hilton, except the Doubletree.

And this just scratches the surface. There's easily 6 hotels that are both cheaper and have better ratings than the Hilton, and still have rooms for the IETF week, within a few blocks. What's the problem?

Now I'm confused.

I thought there was a goal of having a reasonable range of nearby hotel
costs, for hotels that were actually reasonable to stay at.

Citing the cost goal, without satisfying the adequacy goal, seems a bit
odd, Joel.
