Its like me deciding to jump ship from Hilton based on the one dumpy Hilton that's a few minutes from my house...silly.
You're right, of course. I was probably too steamed to think clearly.

I probably should have taken it to Travelbuzz and titled it "I hate long-term accomodation properties that are not business-traveller focused".

I have stayed at a couple RI's, a couple Homewood Suites and 1 Extended Stay America. Not a broad survey, but enough to begin forming an opinion. I have had no problem with the Homewoods. The others have been more like hobo camps than business class hotels.

And the 5 points really ticks me off, too. I forgot that when I made the reservation.
