Hi, >> 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? > > No problem at all and thanks for the information that you searched. However, for people who do not know the place, it can be difficult to find out the locations that are the closest - time-wise, not distance-wise - from the Hilton (Google > Maps may deceive you, for instance if there is a big freeway to cross between your hotel and the Hilton). Google Maps can also give you walking directions. Regards, Christer
