I've never not been able to get a hotel voucher when I needed one (I agree with other comments to the effect that if I'm getting bumped in my home city a hotel is a convenience, not a necessity), so I don't know what I would do if that happened.
However, I have been offered less than I wanted. These days I am happy with $400 or more, not annoyed with $300, and bummed out when only offered $200. However I would be more bummed out if they bumped someone else for $200 because I said no.
And since recently for the flights I'm on the vast majority of the time the GA gets more volunteers than he/she needs regardless of what is offered I volunteer when it's only $200. Call me cheap.
