2) The friendships I have made with hotel and Accor management.
-Yes, this I may get out of other chains too. But being a French (means European) chain, I think I am more attracted to friendships with mostly European management rather than North American management.
So yes, call me weird, but this is what drives my dollar towards Diamond.
I know it won't be perfect. I know it will be lacking. But I have faith that by 2035 it will be ok
Very well written
Gilbertaue. Same for me and I would add another important reason to stay with Accor : the quality of their hotel. Of course there are some bad ones, but this is true for all chains and even more true for other chains (Re tons of very poor US Sheraton, Hilton, Mariott, etc
)
