Data point: when I check the Minneapolis Hilton for the IETF dates I get the 
229$ rate, whereas in Honolulu I pay 185$. I know, one is negotiated, the other 
one isn’t, and there’s travel cost to be involved. FWIW, Minneapolis is a 
horrible destination for me due to the limitations on what airlines fly there. 
I keep repeating “Vancouver” whenever people say “Minneapolis”. I’ll say it 
again: Vancouver is a nice city :-)
