Saving costs and bed spaces? Personally, I've never treated patients with that view in mind. I leave that for bed managers and the like (who only seem to think about that).
Like many have already said, there's no right or wrong answer. Both sides can be argued. Unfortunately, as doctors, there are times when we are faced with such decisions, and we have to make a choice based on our experiences and training. As with any decision tha someone makes, there is always going to be someone who disagrees/second guesses you. Part of being a doctor is learning to make the hard decisions (that others run away from) to the best of your ability.
