There are some better W Hotels. Kong Kong is one of them. Paris Is pretty nice if you get an upgraded room. Many are jusk ok. I dont think Aloft is doign much for SPG overall and I see little growth in that brand now that Mariott takes them over.
While some here take a wait and see on this I feel the SPG program benefits overall will be a lesser program under Marriott. I fully expect that. Just like AA moving to a rev model. It was fully expected by me once they completed the merger fully.
