I believe that IETF is probably trying as hard as it can to do the best job it 
can; however, I wonder about something from above:

I'm not sure if "all of which" included the "never done business with" or how 
exactly hilton works, but it seems to me that we've done quite a bit of 
business with hilton. Is one hilton not able to talk to our previous hilton's 
or corporate headquarters to get information on our group? This would be 
unfortunate as that information seems very useful for the new hilton to have.

Thanks,
Chris.
