Hyatt would be nice but the footprint is too small. Marriott has a large footprint and the price point seems decent, but wanted to see if people selected marriott themselves or if its mainly selected by their employers.
I have a choice and chose Marriott because of the large international footprint. My INTL travel has been cut back significantly, but I'll probably still stick with them since I'm working towards LT status. Rates have always been good and I'm happy with the promos. With the new partnership with UA, I'll definitely keep plat status with Marriott if my air travel stays low.
