Wedding night hotel location - with or seperate from guests

We have the option to book a suite in the hotel we have blocked off for our guests or slightly nicer one down the road (5 miles).  I am trying to decide which is better: the convenience of all being together/being able to drink and at the after party and not having to drive, or having total privacy away from the family.  Thoughts?

    Also, we are not taking our honeymoon right away.

    We are staying at the same hotel as our guests. We would rather be able to stumble up to our room than go to a different location, even if we have transportation that doesn't require us to drive ourselves.

    Really, you will have your own room, I wouldn't think you'd need much more "privacy" than that. Unless the hotel has strangely thin walls or something.

    We stayed in the guest hotel so we could attend the after party. It was awesome just being able to walk to our room at the end of the night.

    We stayed at the same hotel as our guests.  We all hung out at the bar afterwards and had breakfast the following morning.  It was important to us to spend time with our guests, not just at the wedding itself.  Your guests aren't staying in your hotel room, so I don't understand what the big deal is.

    we stayed at the same place as my family (rented house).  The rest of the guests were across the street.  I felt that was fine.     Just do not give out your room number.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    All daughter's wedding, OOT guests, including us, stayed at the Washington Hilton.  So did the newlyweds, but a looooooong way across the courtyard.  It was just fine!

    With so many other logistical things you have to deal with that day, just stay in the same hotel.

    If "x" number of people booked rooms from their hotel block, daughter and SIL got their room comped as one of the perks.  Is that a possibility for you?

    They gave us a deal on our room but they haven't mentioned any free rooms as an option.  I think we are gonna stay in the same place.  Logistically, it will be nice to not have to think about anything else after the reception!  Thanks for everyone's input!
