Re: IETF 94 - Registration and Hotel Information - no availablity

2015-08-17 11:05:08

Hopefully someone can fix it for people.

It is only 2 of the nights that seem unavailable: Thursday and Friday.

I made a reservation for what was available and hope i can extend it. Or
maybe I will leave early.

Yes, it is ridiculous that rooms were sold out so soon.

Hopefully IAOC will fix.

This seems to be a trend, and hopefully Ray will give a report
to the community statistics over the last couple of years to
prove or disprove this hypothesis.

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 5^th and the 6^th of November.

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.

I just tried using the link and was told "some of the days you

can see that only Wednesday the 5th is unavailable.

    A) The link seems fragile. If I right click on it to open in a new

    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 http://ietf.org/meeting/94/hotel.html
    
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ietf.org_meeting_94_hotel.html&d=BQMFaQ&c=BFpWQw8bsuKpl1SgiZH64Q&r=I4dzGxR31OcNXCJfQzvlsiLQfucBXRucPvdrphpBsFA&m=RU55xBNYS6Cx4rbs2EAr6DPN1eYvNb5DjZhTqJdH8cs&s=nMqllxXN6tAmGZhIc-bM7LJw43hyeMES9ID4OkDLSD8&e=>,
    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 redirecting me to the mobile site.
