I don't know about any of that, although I'm sure it could be
researched.  When we had these things in Athens, we steered clear of
conference-room-style venues for several reasons:

 - It usually costs money, and LUGs typically have trouble coming up
   with this.

 - It usually incurs a greater burden on the organizer(s) than would
   otherwise be incurred by saying "Uh, just show up at my house".

 - The atmosphere can be patently sterile.

I realize this would be a better choice with specific regard to
scalability, though.
