IMHO, I would go with either the Fairfield or the Holiday Inn. Granted the B&B would be nice, but I personally would prefer the HI or the FFI. In terms of programs, I'd also go with the FFI over the HI because there are more redeption opportunities in nicer places with Marriott (in my opinion). 35 minutes is NOTHING in terms of a commute - I imagine if those are your only options, you're in the middle of nowhere and the commute isn' 35 minutes in traffic, it's probably decent driving speeds. Your company is probably paying for your gas (at 35c/m that's a decent profit your making right there alone!). I personally would go with FFI over HI. I am sure that you could get Marriott to do a status match when they see what your stay is. Just tell them that you have an option between HI and FI & the HI will match status (which I'm sure they will) but you'd prefer to stay at the FI. Talk to the GM of the FI as well, I'm sure that he or she may be able to help you out in getting it done if you need it. Doesn't hurt to ask...
