We are pretty set on the general area we want to stay in, but my husband and I can not agree on the category of hotel to stay in. His concern is that since we will be on a long trip we will be traveling with very casual clothing.

For those that have stayed in one of the nicer hotels is it appropriate for a man to wear shorts and a polo shirt in public spaces and to breakfast or would we be better suited staying at the Westin or Intercontinental given we will be traveling mostly with very causal clothing?

Thanks!
