I agree with one part of the OP - I have "been spoiled".

When I think of my stays, the negative ones jump out with clarity because they are the exception. Overall, I find FS properties (incl JW and Ren) to be excellent. I am also finding the quality of service at places like TPS, RI, SHS, and FI to be improving.

This week I had a rather unattractive front desk incident at a RI - and when I thought it through, I realized it caught me so off guard because it is a rare occurrence.

And although I too , would certainly make another choice if I had to, I find that I would prefer not too.........
