Jamiel... Thanks for the explaination on Embassy. It's a nice hotel, especially if you have several people staying in one room and want to save a few bucks.

Doubletrees are good hotels, the personal choice of HOLLY (GOING OMNI I think it's for the free Chocolate Chip cookies -- which are as good as Pepperidge Farms and Mrs. Fields.) But again, NO FREQUENT GUEST PROGRAM!!! So I'm reluctant to stay there (I want something more out of my stay besides a cookie!) END OF OMNI.

JAWS' reviews of hotels gave me an idea: maybe when any of us are going to a "strange" area or nation we could mention on the boards
that we are looking for good accomdations.
Then like I can help with NYC, Jaws and AUSTXHIKER with Texas, Rudi with Switzerland,
Merry with G-B, BlondeBomber with Calgery, etc.

It will save us Merry's no HOLIDAY experience! CATMAN
