I have contacted Usenix with such concerns in the past. The reply has always been along the lines of "these are the best rates we can get".
Empirical evidence strongly suggests that this is not the best rate *any* non-profit organization can get. It was the initial email that specifically brought up the topic of the room rate, not Jo or I. However, I've chosen to vote with my feet, and budget. The latter of which finds the additional travel costs of the attending pre-conference Tutorials too high to cover. And given the steady increase in room rates over the past few years may soon find the cost of any non-Boston LISA too high to cover as well.
