I hope we eventually get back to the Park Plaza (again)
I was assuming that that wasn't an option. No real basis for that, but given that (as I've heard it) the Park Plaza broke their contract with Arisia in order to land a more lucrative, better profile event, I would think that we wouldn't want to go back there.
I agree that the Ziggurat wasn't optimal (poor elevators, limited floor space, and the lack of commuter parking being major concerns) but I had thought that it was a matter of this being the only big hotel they were able to get on limited notice after Arisia lost the Park Plaza. As Marsy and I commented, the Ziggurat is designed to host 2 or 3 wedding-sized events, not full on conferences. Given the limits of the space, I thought they did pretty well.
I'm hoping that Arisia isn't planning to return to either venue in the future, but instead goes somewhere else altogether.
