In the issue of full disclosure remember I am retired from MI but I have a very extensive knowledge across the major brands/franchisors...MI's reservation engine has the strongest contribution of any of major lodging companies from my personal experiences....this is extremely important to those who reluctantly find themself as a current hotel owner....personally I can think of many lenders who are probably in current discussions with MI
