Pretty weak list of Canadian hotels for this round. Hope to see better next round.

If you have young kids and Sesame Place will still be open, then Lansdale would be your best bet because of its proximity to the latter.

Pathetic PB list for Canada, with three remote locations in the off-season.
USA list is rather strong if one favors a broad assortment of properties near major urban centers.

More Florida properties than I've seen on any list in the past two years too.

Looks like the CP in Dublin is sold out. I can't find any availability. Oh well, I didn't need to go to cold damp Ireland anyways.

Never mind. I thought that November was not covered in the last release!

Only four of the ten Europe properties are left on the list. I can't remember them selling out so fast before. Are more people booking or just less availability to begin with?

Noted the same too. I could get some rooms on the first day, but now all gone, trying to get some for pre-Christmas time

I would like to see PB's in first 3days restricted to Platinums and first 7days to Platinums+Golds ; or better those with 50nights + 20nights to block out the IHGers with zero paid qualifying nights the previous IHG year, eg the USA CC Platinums who earn points on CC their spend and only stay at IHG on PB's. Basically reward those IHGers who pay to stay with a chance to book a PB.
Internet spivs are also booking out + re-selling the nicer PB hotels upfront , eg China, Russia, Africa has people making a living from the internet, despite IHG's recent attempts to limit rogue abuse booking/reslling use of PBs, that abuse it is going to prove impossible to wipe out.
