Out of curiosity, why is the IETF rate ~2000Y higher than their standard
internet room rate (try to book next week to get an example rate, and
see Best Flexible Rate w/ Breakfast)?
Thanks,
Lou

60% of our room block is considered non smoking but, as our room block
is on the smaller side, it is possible that all non smoking rooms are
indeed sold out. We have contacted the hotel to see how we can best work
through this issue, but at the moment it is only 3am in Hiroshima so it
will be a number of hours before we hear back. We will update everyone
as soon as we know more.

Mike,
I am going to let AMS answer that since they have the contract with
the ANA. My understanding as of right now is that about 60% of the
rooms are non-smoking. The ANA has been aware of our desire for
non-smoking rooms for a long time so I am sure they are working on
whatever solution they can find.

Hi Ole -
As of today, I was only able to book a twin room SMOKING at 19,000y
at the ANA - there are no singles at the lower rate. There are no
non-smoking rooms even at the higher rate. Given that I believe
you're correct that most of the IETF will be looking for a
non-smoking room, I'm not convinced that the hotel will be able to
"air clean" all the necessary rooms in time. It's possible, but
would seem to be a lot of effort (and cost?) for the hotel that
already has a signed agreement with the IETF - unless that agreement
specifically requires that all non-smoking requests be accommodated?
Since you're on the IAOC I believe, could you comment if that was
part of the booking agreement?
Could you also comment on the mix of rooms that the agreement
covers? E.g. how many singles, doubles, etc? I find it problematic
that less than 18 hours after registration opens, we're already out
of the lower cost rooms and the non-smoking rooms.
Mike
