Pros
- Far wider choice of properties; I don't necessarily prefer Marriott hotels, but it makes the choice far easier than under SPG
Cons
- Literally everything else: I earn far fewer points, rewards cost far more, haven't been able to SNA on any of my 53 nights this year, most stays don't credit properly, service recovery is a joke
Hilton aside, it's hard to see who else would be better. I'm an IHG Spire and it's pathetic. Accor is unexciting, unreliable. Easy to see why Marriott has taken its foot off the pedal.
