I wonder if they are less likely to allow a late check-out when the stay points' bonus promotions run. I've got a 3 night stay and I'm considering breaking up to earn 5,000 extra points!
The rooms in both hotels are definitely showing signs of wear and tear, the carpets are patched up and are actually quite disgusting. That said, these hotels are great value.
