What is a good price for a hotel room for guests?

I am not sure what a good price for a room is for our wedding guests. I went to a wedding in Sacramento and the room was $190 a night and I thought that was a lot.

We are getting married in Manhattan Beach, which is a rich area to start with. I've found an Ayres hotel for $150 and it also shuttles the people to the wedding venue. Is that a fair price to ask of people? I just feel bad because most of the people staying in the rooms will be coming from far so they will already be paying an arm and a leg for everything.

    For your area $150 sounds reasonable. We lucked out and found a great deal $90 per night in the Chicago suburbs that includes a shuttle to/from the reception as well as breakfast each morning of their stay.

    I'm in Milwaukee and our room block discount rate is $229 and parking is another $30. $150 seems super reasonable to me!!

    I just booked a hotel for my cousin's wedding under a room block and it was 89, just over 100 after taxes...I cringed....but FH and I stay is pretty cheap hotels. So long as it's clean and I don't have to worry about my car being broken into, I don't care how cheap it is.

    We had two hotel blocks for our wedding. We got married in my hometown. The higher price one was $129/night at the Holiday Inn and they offered a shuttle to our reception venue. The other one was a local hotel at it was $94.50/night with 2 queen beds or $99/night for 1 king bed and no shuttle.

    About $120 for a hotel right nextdoor to our wedding venue (so they don't have to drive). I would be okay with anything up to about $150, unless it's in a big city, then I would be willing to pay more.

    You'll want to list three options on your website for guests to choose one low(under 100&dollarSmiley winking, one middle, and one higher.

    Ours is $135. I think you're in the right range.

    Our hotel rooms are $149.00 a night. I did block rooms at a less expensive Comfort Inn for $79.00 though. My wedding isn't until November but I do know my entire bridal party is from out of town and they have all chosen the $149.00 hotel and have confirmed it. They are also treating our wedding as a mini vacation and wanted a more "upscale" feel.

    I blocked rooms off at 3 hotels (I could only get 10-20 per hotel) 11 months out. Prices range from $209-249/night but all are within walking distance and in downtown Nashville. I checked regular rates 2 months after blocking and they were already almost $400 per night. At this point (3 1/2 months away) ALL of the hotels within 1 & 1/2 miles are sold out or about $500 per night. If guests can't afford the blocked rooms they can take a $10 cab ride a few miles away.
