SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The OpenDaylight Summit was a delightful and educational experience for learning about SDN, OpenDaylight and open source networking.

Alas, "delightful" is not the word I'd use for my hotel room.

I was not able to get a room at the conference hotel, and so I stayed down the road.

It wasn't the worst hotel I've stayed at while traveling on a business trip. That was Circus Circus in Las Vegas. The room smelled like poop and the walls were decorated with paintings of giant clowns. Nobody wants giant clowns watching them sleep in a room that smells like poop.

But even in a business travel career distinguished by many substandard accommodations, my hotel for this conference stands out. So herewith a slideshow of highlights of the conference (which was really great) and petty complaints about my hotel.
