[MENTION=680784]bhrubin[/MENTION] -- I'm not quite sure how to address your blow-by-blow attack of my review (or of me as a credible individual?). Haha, probably best not to. Suffice it to say I'm not lying about my travel experiences at other StRs and the SPG portfolio more broadly. (If one knows anything about Global Services at United, I hope they can surmise that.) With that said, I sense that your last point may be true -- in that my experience may not be relevant or apply to others. I was traveling alone and was just getting away for a while; not celebrating, etc. I'm sort of a weird dude.

In any case, I do appreciate others who who have defended my review (or my right to review honestly?). (Thanks [MENTION=674967]MaldivesFreak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=48126]dmbfan222[/MENTION] and [MENTION=405504]5DMarkIIguy[/MENTION]).

If it matters, my stay *just ended*, so I'm not really sure where the assumption of me staying within 3 months of opening (or getting any kind of discounted rate) came from. Neither are true.

It sounds like others have had a great experience here, and that's good to know. Not every stay is going to be perfect, so I recognize that I may have just had an unlucky run there. (Or perhaps my stay started out on the wrong foot and that colored the rest of my experience.) In any case, I hope that my posting a different flavor of experience helps others when making their travel decisions!
