I’ve stayed at HR John Wayne recently and definitely not a stand out property. Seems like a very basic HR, the rooms are actually smaller than at other HR properties and breakfast isn’t the best, even pre Covid.
PH Aviara I can see moving up agreeably.
MarMonte, (previously HC SB) - Not worth it as a Cat 5. I honestly see it dropping back to a Cat 4 in a Year or 2.
None of the ones going down really matter they mostly seem like Destination Residences.
