actually, they just said that the FS chain offers a consistent product, not that it is the best chain...and I agree with that though I admit that consistency is not necessarily an indicator of high quality in this case. If they could upgrade their product to match the newer MOs and RCs in many markets while making them "less consistent" I'd stay at FS' more.

I may be staying at this one in the next week or two depending on how the travel sked shakes out. I hope to as I will have biz in SF and Monterry and this sounds like one of the good FS hotels.
