I share Dan B’s opinions. The Web reservation system does not seem to have
worked at all – I tried it as soon as I saw the announcement, less than two
hours after it was posted on Friday. The hotel says now that they are fully
booked on the 5th and the 6th of November.
Regards,
Dan

Yes, the rooms are all gone on the 5th. I called the main reservation line and
they confirmed that there are no general-availability rooms on the 5th. She
said the only way we could get more would be for IETF to request a larger block
(since there might be more conference-associated rooms available).
This has been getting worse each year, and it's frankly unacceptable to have
the primary hotel sell out within hours of the announcement because the room
blocks are too small. I really feel sorry for first-time attendees who might
not even try to make a reservation until (gasp!) 2 months before the meeting.

A) The link seems fragile. If I right click on it to open in a new tab, it
doesn't bring up the meeting room block and it offers a rate of 29,000 instead
of 19,000. If I just click on the link, it brings up the block with the right
rate.
B) However there are no rooms available for Wednesday night (or maybe I misread
and it was Thursday) like Roni said.

Hi,
I tried to reserve a room and it says that there are no rooms on Thursday the
6th
This is strange

I had same issue. Use the link on the IETF-94 page as that worked correctly.
On

click on the "Click HERE" area.
Then it seems to work correctly.

Is the hotel already sold out or is the broken hotel website to blame? It keeps
