In addition to Eds points I find it handy to stay "in" the conference from a safety/security point of view. Not knowing any American city, I don't know where is "less than acceptable" to traverse after hours. And there were some questionable districts quite close to the conference in SFO. So I chose to stay "in-house", and wear the cost. As Jim alluded, it ain't cheap, but you make you choices ...
