Question regarding preferences for hotel negotiations

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

If GWAPA has to trade off between room service fees (use of
ballroom, etc.) and roomnight rates for attendees, would
you prefer that they tend toward lower room rates or a
lower ballroom fee?

This is irrespective of whether they can negotiate a
sliding scale for any costs based on total roomnights
rented.

Personally, I think the lower roomnight rate would be to
our advantage because it will promote attendance while a
lower Ballroom fee will not. While a lower roomnight rate
does not translate directly as money in AGA's pocket, with
a good turnout, the ballroom fee will be covered *and* more
folks will have the benefit of attending the convention.

But views differ. What's yours.
