Title: November F2F - hotel info
Creekside offered really fast cable connection - for
free I seem to remember. Thanks, Bill for reminding me of this important
dimension.

November F2F - hotel info
I
stayed on two occasions at the Stanford Park Hotel. It's
really nice, but expensive. I was thinking maybe we could book a couple
of the $725 per night "Stanford Suites" and all crash together. That
would be togetherness! On second thought maybe not. Seriously,
just thought I'd throw it out there. If you're spending Sheraton-class
bucks then this is a nice alternative -- prices are just about
identical. Creekside Inn, on the other hand is about $60 cheaper than
either Stanford Park or Sheraton.
When
I stayed at Stanford Park they were offering a complimentary glass of wine
each evening. That was nice. Also, the pool, spa and workout
facility were nice and underutilized. Downside was that they didn't have
their cablemodems working yet. I just called the hotel and they tell me
that the cablemodems are now working. I'd take that with a grain of salt
though.

For those planning to attend our next F2F in
Menlo Park I can provide some accomodation suggestions so that we may, if we
wish, coordinate our plans. It has certainly proved to be convenient and
more friendly to try and stay in groups at the same establishments so I
thought I'd circulate a couple of suggestions:
a) for a reasonably priced (completely
non-smoking) hotel just South of Palo Alto. It is about 15 minutes drive to
the meeting place and just 5 minutes from University Avenue in Palo Alto. It
is also convenient for the Stanford Shopping Mall! It is similar to many
other hotels along El Camino but struck me as one of the better ones during
my recent stay there. There are no bars or lounge but there is an adjacent
affiliated restaurant (haven't tried that but it looks good), a small deli
and each room has a refrigerator.

b) The Palo Alto Sheraton is even nearer Palo
Alto centre but whilst it offers pretty good traditional US **** facilities
it doesn't have in-room fridges (perhaps you can tell I care about that) and
is usually rather more expensive:
