SPG properties are all exciting because you never know what you're going to find when you get there. Some I've stayed in have been pleasantly nice, but in at least half of them I've had to request a new room because of some intolerable problem-- broken heat/AC, ridiculously noisy, smoke smell in a nonsmoking room, missing furniture, etc. Sometimes I've had to request a third room before being satisfied or simply giving up.
