This is an interesting point. For much of FlyerTalk's history, forums were set up for companies who issued miles or points. We have been gradually evolving to include discussion about travel that doesn't have such programs. Perhaps now is the time to expand the charter of the Other Hotel forum. Let's see what thoughts others have.
A question for you: If we expand the existing forum, what should it say to include the topics of interest to you?
Other Hotel ChainsAny hotel chain without a dedicated forum such as La Quinta, Shangri-La, Swissotel, and Langham
