Hampton Inn vs. Best Western East End

I'm having a hard time decided where to block rooms. I called Best Western to block them and it was $169. I feel like that is a lot of $$ for my guest to pay, but I don't want them feeling like they can't party because of the drive home from Giorgio's (most people planning on staying over live in Nassau or the city). I do like that it is relatively close to our reception and when the party is over they won't have a long shuttle ride to the hotel. I also like that there is a lounge area for the guests to hang out in before the reception since there is a large gap after the ceremony.

I have not yet heard back from Jennifer at the Hampton Inn on how much each room would be. I left two messages, but since I'm here in CA, I'm thinking that its going to be difficult to get in touch with her. If the price is good, then I guess I could block there and hopefully there is someplace close by for the guests to go and get a drink or somehting before having to head to Giorgio's.

If you blocked rooms at the Hampton Inn, how much are you getting them for? What are your guests doing before going to the reception (if there's a lot of time in between the ceremony and reception)? Do you think if I got a cheaper quote from the Hampton Inn, can I talk the Best Western down? Thanks.
