I certainly would encourage consideration of ALL viable venues, making a
final decision based on cost to the participants as a key issue is
entirely reasonable.
Our experience does vary. Mine is that what we were able to save on
meeting rooms, we ended up spending on charter transportation to get to
offsite events (banquet, e.g.), as well as on additional student
registrations to support the lack of hotel staff (NB: student volunteers
*cost money* - they cost the incremental food costs at a minimum). This
is based on evaluations *of actual costs* of venues in Europe, the US,
Canada, and Japan, FWIW.
It also varies *widely* depending on the size of the meeting.
It's always useful to consider all possible options, though.
