I seem to recall Howls of Protest when London's hotels were announced that there was only one hotel that was "walking distance" and that all of he others were hundreds of miles away across a howling wasteland. I exaggerate only slightly.
Americans expect that there should be thousands of inexpensive hotel rooms, all of which are less than 100 steps away from what they want, all of which are part of their hotel loyalty program, all of which are simultaneously close to parties and also very quiet, all of which have no elevator waits and no stairs to negotiate, all of which have lots of cheap food and fine dining within a few steps of their doors, and anything that does not meet all of these mutually-incompatible requirements is going to be pilloried for some reason. DC's Worldcon would be being yelled at for some other reason about now (or whenever their hotel information came out).
