Stayed at the W Washington DC earlier this week for my final stay. When I had the option of staying at the W versus any of the other run-of-the-mill DC business hotels, I figured I'd send off my 7 years of loyalty to SPG and many fond memories off into the sunset while having a drink at the rooftop bar that overlooks the Treasury Department and White House. The only downside is that they were starting renovations on the hotel...
I'll still be staying at those SPG brands well into the future, however! Even with the changes, I don't think I could go back to staying at Hilton properties.
