Past JLPT takers in Kanto, was your exam location near or far from home?

Just signed up to take the exam. The only location I could choose was Kanto which is a broad area compromising of several prefectures. It has me thinking I might need to save up for a business hotel.

In your experience were you given a placement nearby or made to travel far from your address to the exam location?
