My first reaction is the Hilton nearer the centre of town, as the important 
bit is getting back from the filk to wherever people are staying, in the 
early hours of the morning. It would be nice to be near the other 
activities, but I think the getting home bit overrules it.

Some people might be staying in the Moat House, but probably more in other 
places. In 95 as I remember the on-site hotel was reserved for convention 
staff (and disabled?)
