They will come when they come if they come and then we will see what they are...from my POV they have definitely been watered down over the years to the point where they are a big YAWN when they are presented...right up there with the NUA experience. What we need is a great travel recession that drops occupancy back down into the 60's at which point Marriott and other chains will start to value frequent guests again...until then...they don't need us and they show it at every opportunity.
