This particular one was in West Palm Beach by Palm Beach International.

It was a lovely suite -- their "Evolution Suite" type. Two TVs in the room. Most notably, the bathroom stunned my friend and me. Glass shower doors, automatic lighting, and a deep black color scheme. For not having any pictures on their accommodations page for this particular room type, the look was considerably nicer than I expected.

But I think, on the whole, the property is very average and couldn't recommend it (subject to change as I stay at surrounding hotels in my quest for Gold).

When I walked in, the thermostat was set to 72 and half the room was cold (sadly this was the side with the bed and the HVAC unit) and the other half was warm (this would be the side with the thermostat). I had to turn the thermostat to 82 to get the HVAC unit to shut off.

Another HGI offered me two bottles of water (HGI Boca Raton) for being HHonors member (just a simple Blue here for 2 more stays :-( / :-) ) and had complimentary USA Today, this one did not. I chalk it up to the airport proximity mentality.
