I figured that plus maybe a mattress and towels with no stains? That could be pushing it though...

I stayed at a BW in Madrid and it was decent - very clean, great location and well priced. It's amazing that the brand is so conflicted in its quality between the US and Europe.

Agreed. ^^

Generally the BW brand is used as a booking engine for a loose amalgamation of decent independent hotels in Europe. The one we stayed in during our VCE run was cheap, clean, easy and a block from San Marco square. Hard to beat.

Many people chuckle when they meet me in person and find out I really do like to have a good time instead of smack people with rulers when they get out of line. Ask CO1E about exploring IAH in the middle of the night.....

Was it the BW Carlos V right off the Gran Via ?

I stayed at the BW Hotel Parlament in BUD and it was very well located while also being pretty snazzy. Very quiet neighbor a short walk to many cool parts of town.

Ditto. I'm actually (usually) pleasant and helpful out there. In here is where the real me shows through...

ETA: I think that it took me a solid year of being a member before I was comfortable posting, and only since about late 2006 have I really felt like I was useful here.
Can't say I've had the same feeling. :D

Some of the more obscure Alaskan flying services are the same way. Until just a few years ago you could fly Convair turboprops regularly in Alaska, as well as a few other oldies.

What in the world does a room upgrade at a Best Western in the US get you? :confused:
In small towns in the US it means your room will have no more than one roach, as opposed to the possible 12 roaches in a room for a non-Platinum. You also get a can of Raid if you need it for that one roach.

The fares up there aren't cheap. Cheapest YYC-YYE fare I've seen is $550++. :eek:

Buffalo Airways also has a nice fleet of some classic aircraft.

Wow. That looks worth a trip to YZF.

I've thought about it several times... We could have a Box DO in a chartered DC-3. :D
