Since there isn’t any Sandman Hotel Group forum’s I thought it worthy of mention in regard's to alternate Hotel programs. They are predominantly Western Canada based but growing in Eastern Canada and even England. Good mid-tier Hotel option for Business or Personal stays. Added bonus is they are affiliated with various popular restaurants onsite for convenience.

They have a range of incentive program’s with a Sandman perspective.

StarPlus Corporate Advantage Program….Your StarPlus membership includes: Preferred Corporate Rates, Late check-out privileges, Upgrade (based on availability), Complimentary morning newspaper, Free local fax/phone service

Lucky 13 Program ... stay 13 night’s earns a free night. Stay 12 nights at a participating rate, at any Sandman location and receive the 13th night for free.

StatusPlus Points Rewards Program…. Use StatusPlus Rewards Points to redeem free Reward Night stays. 1:1 – Every dollar spent will earn you 1 point on room rate only (exclusive of taxes). Redeem 1200 points for a 1 night stay at any Sandman location (starting base room type). Redeem 1500 points for a 1 night stay at any Signature or Suites location (starting base room type). Redemption points for room types above the starting base room type will be calculated by adding an additional 100 points for every $10 increase above the base room type

Recently did a 4-night stay at the Sandman Signature Toronto Airport Hotel. First time with this Chain and I was impressed.

Central location near YYZ and The Toronto Congress Center. Nice rooms that that seemed refurbished at some point and well maintained. Cleaners do an excellent job, room consistently well cleaned & stocked everyday. Friendly and helpful staff. Small coffee/snack bar open in the lobby early each morning for a quick breakfast on the run. Parking is $12 per Day. Complimentary YYZ Airport Shuttle. Free Wi-Fi.

Having the Moxie’s Grill & Bar on site was a bonus, no real need to eat off site but options nearby. Great restaurant/bar for the evening. Very busy so if taking a client there its recommended to arrive before peak times as crowding and noise can be excessive later in the evening.

Now I know why this location was frequently sold out during large events nearby...probably one of the best hotels near YYZ.

Wow...applied for a Sandman StarPlus Membership mid March and just received my StarPlus new membership card in July. That's a record for slow turn around.

Using the preferred corporate rate for comparison at the SW Hotel Toronto Airport on July 23 using their "StarP" rate code. Checked Executive Queen Suite. (One Bedroom Suite, 1 Queen Bed, Separate Sitting Area, Sofa Bed, Microwave, Small Fridge)

StarP rate @ $109 CAD vs CAA/AAA @ $103.55 CAD vs $109.00 CAD Best Available rate vs CPSA rate @ $101.00 CAD so the best deal.... makes the StarP corporate membership kind of pointless.
