This year I decided to not maintain my inner circle status, mainly because i was a little bored and wanted to see what else was out there. Also because there are so few Kimptons unless one is traveling to the San Francisco bay area or Washington DC! How about some in Vancouver?

So I tried some of the commoner brands like SPG and Marriott and Hilton, and they have been very bland. To be sure, their higher end properties are quite nice, but the customer service is stiffer and less warm.

Returning from a couple of days at the Muse in New York, I'm ready to return to inner circle!
