This is the firtst time I have wandered out of the airline FFP forum into the hotel forum, and what a wealth of info resides herein!

I am spending a week in the above hotel and was dismayed to find that it does not participate in the SPG scheme. It breaks my heart to spend a load of cash on a decent hotel and earn nothing for the stay. I am assuking it is a proper Sheraton, too.

I have the chance to book into the Marriott but it is showing a three star (!?).

Any experiences?

I once stayed in Dar es Salaam and the Sheraton there had just handed back its franchise the week before, so I lost out on £1,500 of spend there.

Thanks in advance
