The point is that if IETF meetings are potentially repeat business
for a hotel, that gives the hotel an otherwise-absent strong
incentive to do such a good job that we'll want to hold another
IETF meeting there.  From the hotel's perspective, making sure that
we don't get inconvenienced by renovations or other avoidable
disruptions would be one aspect of that.

Greetings,
