Over the years I’ve refereed/participated in a number of debates about which hotel loyalty program is the best. Reasonable minds can disagree (except for those people who think Marriott is the best out there) about the best program, and different types of travelers will…
I had another stay recently at Hyatt Regency Miami. I had a bit more time so got to explore more of the property. This property is a bit on the older side but it’s well located. Not as new as the Intercontinental around the…
Starwood has announced it’s fall promo (Better Nights). Members will receive double Starpoints on stays of 1 or 2 nights and triple Starpoints on stays of 3 or more nights. There’s also an interesting booking bonus. 250 points for each stay if booked using…
Registration is now open for Hyatt’s fall promo. It takes 30 seconds to register and it’s free. So, click above and sign up. I learned the hard way a long time ago when I didn’t sign up for a promo I thought I wouldn’t…

Despite the announced drought conditions in Austin, it was raining so hard when I pulled up to the hotel so no outdoor shots. The hotel does have valet service which came in especially useful for this stay. This was a one-night stay so it…
Reading View From The Wing today, I found myself nodding my head at the value of AAA. Gary sounds about as allergic to prepaid hotel reservations as I am. Plans change too frequently. And, while SPG and Hyatt have generally been good about getting…
