Never stayed on Delta's dime during IROPS - but for an oversold bump I have been at the Holiday Inn near the old IND terminal and a Holiday Inn FLL airport which prior to the new HI Express now open on US 1 was quite a distance away.

I recently experienced a lengthy mechanical delay at MDW that would have seen me mis-connect and and spend the night in DTW. Since I wasn't in a rush, I re-booked my flight for the next night with the Diamond desk and secured a voucher for a well-known downtown Chicago hotel from the gate agent. Much, much better accommodations than the airport hotel she initially offered—all I had to do was ask.

Best: Westin DTW
Worst: The on-property $hithole airport at MEM...think it used to be called the Clarion.
Have also stayed at the Holiday Inn MEM and Marriott MEM. And the MEM WC agents were the best....always giving me a nice NW voucher when I'd misconnect the final bank of flights for the night out of MEM.

What do you have to do to get blacklisted from a hotel chain? I only know one person who has been blacklisted. He was a personal injury lawyer who repeatedly sued a particular chain for something unsafe about their standard swimming pool setup that injured people.

Most of the time Delta has put me in a decent brand - Hilton or Marriott & the like. Earlier this year in Moline, IL they put me in a complete dump.
This hotel looks great. 5* in my book.

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to say you were blacklisted from a hotel chain?

In July due to weather delays in NY my flight from YYZ to DTW connecting to LGA was canceled (last flight of the night) so they put me up at the Sheraton hotel right in the Toronto airport plus dinner voucher and breakfast voucher. Because of crossover rewards and diamond status the hotel upgraded me to the executive floor. The dinner & breakfast spread were awesome compared to the US executive floors. Needless to say delta took good care of me. Side note: I know they were about to not give me a hotel until she saw I was diamond and mentioned to the other gate agent "he is HVC" and they proceeded with the voucher.

DL has been good to me here so no complaints. For ATL, once stayed at the Hilton, another time at the Ren. LAS was Embassy Suites and it was okay. Can't remember the hotel at CVG but it was also decent.
Best part, got status credit for all the stays. Make sure you give the FDC your number. ^

Best hotel I had wasn't IROPS, but my wife and I did get to stay at the Sofitel at London-Gatwick on Delta when we took a VDB a few years back. Had lunch, dinner, and breakfast vouchers (something like 200 GBP total) plus $1000 Delta vouchers each (LOVE the EU!). Also got bumped to BE the next day at check-in...this was before I started reading FT and realized that I should've negotiated BE as part of the VDB package.

Several Decembers ago my wife and I were flying direct MUC-ATL. Flight was cancelled because of unusually bad winter weather expected in ATL and we were re-scheduled for the next day. But DL really came through: without even having to ask or call, we were both upgraded into BE, and DL reimbursed us for one night at the Munich Airport Kempinski.

I love the reviews. Is this true? What other hotels rank higher then this gem in Moline, IL. I don't want to look it up, as I would be getting cookies for my possible visit. Moline, IL. How was happy hour? I bet Hank Williams was rocking all night long on the jukebox... Let me guess until 11PM (9pm on weekdays).
This hotel looks great. 5* in my book.

The flight was cancelled around 8:00 pm, but with their delays it was close to midnight when I got into my room. The TV must have been at least 13". There were Elizabethan paintings and velvet wallpaper on the walls. I'm sure it was a nice place 30 years ago.There was a Hampton Inn across from the airport parking lot. After waiting for the first hour I checked on availability there, but they were booked full by then.
