I will attest to the idea of staying at your host hotel. Recently when I was in Atlanta, GA for a Delta Sigma Pi LEAD conference, we opted to stay at a members of ours parents house. She told us that she was close to the city and we wouldn’t have any problem getting to the hotel and back in a timely manner. Well, when it came down to it and we got the directions from Radford, VA to her house and then from her house to the conference hotel, her house was an hour away from the hotel. Although we saved about $400 on hotel rooms, we spent at least another $75 on gas driving to the hotel, around downtown Atlanta, and then back to her parents house. Not staying at the hotel also did not give us an easy place to change, take a nap after the conference, or just relax. We also missed out on the opportunity to meet, network, and party with other members of our Fraternity. So, the lesson learned here is that next semester we are staying at the hotel for sure!
