For me, it's a trade-off between getting sleep and having additional time for meetings versus getting fresh air, any exercise, and possibly seeing something of the city. The number of morning meetings vary - for the IESG it's usually 2. For the IAB it's usually 2. For the overlap, that's usually 4 - though not all needed liaisons in Yokohama. If I have meetings after dinner, those usually go until late and are quite useful. However, that varies by IETF. I also got to see absolutely nothing in Yokohama except the hotel and adjacent mall. Walking or taking a taxi to/from the conference venue would encourage seeing more and I'd appreciate not getting stuck at the hotel for quite so many meals. However, the trade-off is not being as available or getting as much sleep. This probably sounds similar to many other attendees who want to be in the conference hotel. Certainly, before I became an AD, it was quite busy but not usually quite the same level of nearly constant intensity. I generally have preferred to be in the conference hotel, because of a bad experience where I had an asthma attack and couldn't do the walk and because I've brought along all three of my children when they were babies and having them close made feeding them much much easier and meant I actually saw them. On the other hand, in Berlin, I stayed at a different hotel because 5 in a room was complicated and I really enjoyed the 15 minute walk through the park twice a day. One factor that may be causing issues is the idea of a "peak-night" when all those booking early reservations don't know the agenda and thus need to book for the whole week. I certainly don't think of staying at the main venue as a "perk" but I do find it useful to help me be more rested and easier to interact with. It does also reduce the stress factor of figuring out a new city - though that means that if I don't find time to get out of the hotel on Sunday, I'm much less likely to get out.
