How much are your hotels?

How many hotel blocks do (or did) you have, and what are the price points? Right now I have one block at a higher end hotel for $179 per night (huge discount from their normal rate). I just got a quote for a 3-star hotel at $139 per night. Is it worth adding it as a lower cost option? For context,...

Right now I have one block at a higher end hotel for $179 per night (huge discount from their normal rate). I just got a quote for a 3-star hotel at $139 per night. Is it worth adding it as a lower cost option?

For context, this is the weekend after a major holiday in a major city (many hotels I looked at are sold out already!), both are courtesy blocks (don't have to pay for unsold rooms), and I have around 25 guests coming in from out of town. Selfishly, we get a huge perk at the higher end hotel for booking more rooms - but I don't want to provide that as the only option if the cost is unreasonable for our guests. Thanks!

    Mine is Hilton and it's normally $190 a night, and we are getting it for $119 with free shuttle to and from our venue.

    We did a block of 20 room, which were all booked. Our rate was $119. Our wedding was at a casino resort.

    You know your guests best, but for what it is worth, I think a higher end option at $179/night is sufficient and reasonable. If you think that might be cost-prohibitive to more than a handful of your guests, then it makes sense to go with the secondary option as well. Personally, my fiance and I alway shop around anyway (we've even found a room in the same hotel for a better rate before!). My guess is that some of your guests may do the same. Either way, no skin of your back, or money out of your pocket for that matter.
