Also, FYI, about the hotel, we had a nice Executive Suite room - good size, but not really a suite</font>

I really wish the hotel industry (or at least the Marriotts, HHonors, and Starwoods of the world) would standardize their use of the word "suite". Hotels shouldn't be allowed to throw around "King Suite", "Executive Suite", or "Studio Suite" on things that aren't really suites!

We got burned once at a Towne Place Suites. Booked a suite, got to the hotel, and realized that there were no "real" suites anywhere in the hotel! We packed four people into the slightly-elongated-but-otherwise-normal hotel room for one night (arrived at 9pm and couldn't exactly cancel), and then got 2 Priceline rooms down the street for the rest of the stay.

I don't care how loose they play it with the word "suite", as long as it's standardized so I know what I'm booking.
