I reserved the Kimpton Van Zandt - I have emailed to see if I can get an even better rate as it comes out to around £850 for 4 nights but I was just trying to decide between £250 for the Aloft and £700 for the Marriot - both using bonvoy points and the Kimpton looks lovely... but I may still change my mind!
I do like the idea of staying a night in different cities so I can rove around Texas but I would rather have a base to come back to everyday (even if I did end up staying away for one night).
