The absurdity of Dal's bureaucratic nonsense never ceases to amaze. I feel like I'm living in a satiric novel. From: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2020 11:41 AM To: I 4: › ; Subject: RE: travel approval request (Hotel Options) So, two fun things about the hotels. First, note that basically all of the hotels that sent are well over the per diem, so I'm going to email about getting approval for that. The other thing is, for reasons that I absolutely cannot fathom, the locations for a bunch of the hotels in E2 are totally wrong. For example, that horrible WAERDSHUSET place (which, don't look at the photos online, it's terrifying) is shown in E2 as being right downtown, here: when in reality it's an hour and 30 minute drive from downtown: EFTA00096371 Conversely, the Diplomat, where the FBI says the Legat may be able to book for us through the Embassy (!), is listed as being hours and hours outside of town: when in fact it's right downtown: EFTA00096372 9 Pr.iflolc,!.:1, ROSEN8AD Ktrighga SI0TIPI 9 It 9 O " Hotel Diplomat sISS tn.. icy. Vasarnuseet 9 Also notably, the prices in E2 are way higher than if we just booked through, like, Hotels.com (the Diplomat is $155 online or $382 on E2). I have no fucking clue why we're all being tortured in precisely this fashion, but here we are.

The Sheraton seems pretty standard, located in city center, and it should be easy to get a conference room there. Or if you'd rather stay somewhere less standardized, the Hotel Kung Carl is also in the city center, seems well reviewed, and has meeting rooms.

I've screen captured a few of the hotels that popped up in my search this morning. I've hid the sold out hotels within the Stockholm area.

Since it's out of our control, we'll need to book a hotel over per diem. If you agree that I should reserve the Sheraton Stockholm Hotel, I'll inform El of the issue so we could get approval to reserve a hotel over per diem and fill out the forms to give to him to sign. In the meantime, I'll see if I could reserve your preferred flights so they don't get sold out either. Thanks for informing me.
