Hands down the best hotels, regardless of the lack of points....
One downside: it is very easy to get spoiled by the circumstances, which can become a problem if you switch employers (or your current employer changes policies) or when you vacation on your own dime.</font>
Ah, so true, wigs, so true. I still miss the Mandarin in San Francisco. What a joint that was. The last time I stayed there (before changing employers) they had printed Mandarin stationery with "SFJoe" in gold under the Mandarin logo to be ready for me when I arrived. Not to mention the rest of the scene.
PremEx, I usually try to stay in a better hotel because the trains run on time. It is amazing how hard it is to get a fax, for instance, at anything but the top hotels. Or 24 hour edible room service. Or the many other things that I need to work. Then, there is the silly time I spend on the road, and the fact that I'll crack if I have to spend all that time in lousy hotels.
