I don't expect to get a "free" room out of this promo in the center of a European city or in a nice Pacific resort. If it ever happens, it will be like finding a mistake rate or something. The odds that it will happen in summer have got to be close to zero.
I'll second that, I also booked 2 reservations and I'm quite happy, I also booked a HIX in Atlanta last month (April). Outstanding value, I'm not expecting top properties like some others are expecting here, I think some people are getting greedy. Good! 'cause there will be more nicely furnished mid-scale properties all over North America for the rest of us. Cheers!
