> And i am sure iwas also not 300 bookable rooms by the time the mail was sent. I made three reservations over the course of about 20 minutes starting about ten minutes after the info went up on the IETF page. For the first two, all the rooms were available. For the last one, I had to take two doubles instead of a queen. (I cancelled the first two--I was having trouble getting the reservation associated with my hhonors account, which is why I had to try multiple times.) Given the number of dedicated attendees to the IETF, this was essentially a game of musical chairs. It's one that happens ever IETF, and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We got plenty of advance warning this time--I put an entry on my calendar. I would have been perfectly happy if I didn't get a room at the hotel this time, as you've said you are. So I don't really know what the problem is here. I did a little looking around last week to see if I even _wanted_ stay in the Hilton, and there are a lot of really nice (looking) hotels in Buenos Aires. I think this is a non-problem, but of course we will discuss it to death anyway... :)
