You are generous - I take wake up calls when i want them for granted

As for the hotel key cards getting wiped If you have a blackberry the magnetic pouch they sit in is very efficient at destoying the data on hotel key cards and car park tickets - happens all the time with me
I like how they make the simple promise of the wake up call and then miss it - that is classic.

My own view - pretty uncontroversial that FS and Pen would lead the pack (Pen is lucky because it has comparatively few properties, and the weak ones (NY, Beijing) are greatly outweighed by the super ones (HK, Tokyo, Chicago)). It is more interesting to see the scrambling at the level below, and I do think that of those, Taj is the one to watch. Ones that I would think are dropping would include MO and the Park Hyatt brand.
