Try it sometime, then get back to us. :)
I rented a car in Orlando, which just about doubled the cost of my stay. This
is a pretty strong negative for a venue. And I suspect that "needs some kind
of nonstandard food" is not quite as small a minority as you imagine it is.
Particularly when "nonstandard"=="what is served in the hotel restaurant,"
which, in large hotels, tends to actually be a very constrained, unhealthy diet
even for those who can eat it. I was feeling so crappy after several days of
the hotel food at the most recent venue we shared together that I had to flee
the meeting and search Dublin for some probiotics and roughage. I am happy
for you that you don't have this problem.
