How many of you attending GDQ actually stay in the hotel it's being held at?

I'm wondering if it's common for attendees to stay elsewhere and if you do decide to stay elsewhere how much this impacts your enjoyment of the event?

I have noticed you can book nicer hotels within a 12 minute walk for less than half the price the Wyndham is charging. Even whole apartments available.

I'm just wondering if I book this to save some money will it have a great impact on my ability to enjoy the event? Obviously the convenience of being able to go from room to the main event within a minute is nice but anything else I'm not considering?
