Inn and Suites
I have found myself staying at a number of Comfort Suites lately. They are typically great hotels. Now, if you like those expensive hotels where everything is fancy and expensive – these hotels are probably not for you. But if you look at hotels like I do food – where quantity is of equal importance to quality – then this is the place for you. By quantity, I mean room size and amenities. They always have big rooms, nice showers, internet, and all of the fixins. Some of them are older than others, but I can put up with an old room that smells a bit like mold as long as the air conditioner is running the whole time. In addition to this, they have a rewards program that is up there with Southwest’s frequent flyer program. I can’t tell you how many times I have stayed in Marriott hotels, or how many Marriott rewards points I have, but I can tell you that you get a free night at a Choice Hotel (Comfort Inn, Sleep Inn, etc.) when you stay at one of those hotels twice in a set period of time. It is a promotion that they always seem to be running. When you stay there, be sure to tell them that Andy Gullahorn should be their national spokesperson.
