The Stanton doesn't surprise me because I thought I had heard somewhere on FT that they were possibly headed in the direction of becoming a resort anyway. But Blue Moon scares me because if they are doing it too then perhaps the Winter Haven is next and I was hoping to return there in the future. This type of nonsense is exactly why I chose Winter Haven over the Stanton last time I was in Miami, and avoided SOBE Hilton properties altogether. The question is will the fee apply on award stays.
