Separately, I'm still trying to think of the Centric positioning w/in WOH...Aloft is always thought to be the W's younger (cheaper) sibling, and I guess that relationship may also exist between Centric and Andaz. But both of my US Centric stays so far (Boston and Chicago Mag Mile), I'd say your standard Centric is a lot nicer / a bit less "try too hard" than an Aloft, which you can also say the same w/Andaz vs. W.
Need to do a few more stays elsewhere, but I like the vibe, and since lounges aren't important and I'm now a Glob, I think I would take a Centric generally over an HR (though curious what the suite % is at other Centrics).
