Note that there is very little that is modern about these hotels.
Thank you, this is very helpful! I'm semi boycotting Marriott due to the ludicrously poor promo they gave me this quarter (2000 points for 4 stays, then a further 2000 points per 2 stays), and trying to maximize stays with IHG (where I have crazy generous stacking 2x/4x/Accelerate promos), but it sounds as though I may be better off at the new Courtyard, which is also sub-EUR100 on my dates, rather than any of the HIs.
