Let's not look at every night as a freebie -- of course, the "expensive" hotels are the first fill up -- this is a surprise?? This week end I used a FFN at the Hyatt Phoenix --now the hotel was sold out, according to the web site, for the regular paying customers -- but alloted rooms for FFN was not -- I was very surprised to get a free room (and an upgraded one at that). The hotel WAS sold out -- it was a madhouse.
