FWIW, if the enemy is renovations, or even huge and noisy

better-quality sympathy. Hotel behavior is not a coin-toss,
even with the same hotel. If there have been no renovation
projects for several years in a row, that actually increases the
odds that there will be one next time, rather than assuring that
there will not be.
The point is that if IETF meetings are potentially repeat business
for a hotel, that gives the hotel an otherwise-absent strong
incentive to do such a good job that we'll want to hold another
IETF meeting there. From the hotel's perspective, making sure that
we don't get inconvenienced by renovations or other avoidable
disruptions would be one aspect of that.
Greetings,
