This is always high on my list of reasons to try to stay at the conference 
hotel, also.

But note that this time, the conference is not at the InterContinental 
“Headquarter Hotel", it is at the attached conference center.

Can anyone speak to whether the InterContinental's infrastructure is going to 
see the upgrade from the IETF infrastructure usually offered to the conference 
hotel?

If the big pipe goes to the conference center only, then the InterContinental 
’s infrastructure may suffer from the same problems the Maastricht’s did for 
similar reasons.
