Well I checked out of the hotel. My final bill was $1961 for my stay. I am now down the street in a Marriott. I should have stayed at the Marriott in the first place seeing as how I'm a platnium member, my room is bigger and the rate per night is cheaper. My company is covering all of my expenses, but I still kick myself for not checking into the marriott like I first wanted to.
I'll never stay at a Holiday Inn again, and I plan to write a letter to the company telling them that.
Marriott > Holiday Inn by far. There's no real comparison.
When comparing Marriott to HI franchises, yes. When talking about corporate operated HI properties, less so. Franchising is a good way to make money for the brand but NOT a good way to maintain consistent quality.
