Well, I'll always avoid the chains unless it's unavoidable, just as I avoid McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks and all those other corporate things. I did welcome a chain hotel in Almaty in 2018 but of the thirty-odd hotels I stayed at in 2019 I'm proud to say that not one is affiliated to a big hotel group.
I have enjoyed this thread immensely . . .
