|
Date: October 31st, 2025 8:47 PM Author: brilliant exhilarant native boistinker I like some of the IHG branded hotels, like Holiday Inn, but Hyatt offers a better experience. When traveling for business I find something in the Marriott line because I really enjoy how sterile and purposefully unoffending their properties are. It makes me feel cheap and expendable which I am. Good reminder. Like a sharp kick to the balls. |

|
Date: November 2nd, 2025 7:20 PM Author: Unhinged Fiercely-loyal Rigpig Kimptons generally have great restaurants and are always in cool locations. Service is always top notch and if you're IHG diamond you often get good upgrades (Marriott pretty much never gives you spontaneous upgrades for being Platinum elite). However, Marriott will give you 4pm late checkout consistently which is priceless for business travel. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792182&forum_id=2/#49396309) |

|
Date: November 1st, 2025 5:17 PM Author: Unhinged Fiercely-loyal Rigpig Idk, I've stayed at some very good Marriott properties. The Residence Inn in Richmond, VA gives you basically a nice apartment if you get the corner suite and is in a great location downtown.
Some of the Marriotts in the DC area are also great. Obviously, you don't go to a Courtyard and expect it to rival an Intercontinental or Kimpton. |

|
Date: November 1st, 2025 5:14 PM Author: Unhinged Fiercely-loyal Rigpig IHG has a few really good brands but they're Kimpton and Intercontinental. Kimpton is my go to for personal travel (I always bring my huge dog and they have no pet restrictions and they're generally a 4 star hotel).
The only impressive Holiday Inns seem to be abroad (some in Mexico are hilariously nice and have room service and shit).
Also, the IHG top tier CC is very cheap and gives you Platinum status ($40k gets you Diamond), plus accumulates points rapidly. |
|
Date: November 1st, 2025 5:11 PM Author: Unhinged Fiercely-loyal Rigpig How is that possible? I travel about once a month (domestic, not international) + have the United Club CC and I'm Gold (just met the renewal criteria for another year last month).
I'm constantly paying for hotel stays with points. |

|
Date: November 3rd, 2025 10:24 AM Author: Territorial cerebral bawdyhouse For me, it's the $300 stubhub credit.
For travel shrews, it's probably the increased points on shit booked thru the Chase portal, the $300 dining credits/table reservations, and $500 hotel credits for their fancy hotels.
For sweatpants gfs, it's the Apple+, Peloton, Doordash credits. |
