It doesn't matter as long as there is room for more people. Conference hotels are specifically designed to host these meetings. This will ensure timely returns after lunch. I would be afraid that that would limit FDA attendance. Maybe May allow for more participation.
Lunch scramble with a large group can often delay afternoon schedule.
Usually a single hotel lack adequate dining facilities to eat on a tight schedule. Would recommend hotel near many restaurants outside for options. NO 11 Comments That would be fine, too. Either would be acceptable. Whatever works best for FDA to keep this going.
