I just stayed at the Whittier property. They are in the middle of a complete room renovation. Shouldn't they have waited to do that after any change in brand, since some brands are quite specific as to what a room should look like and have in it?

You mean Buena Park, right? Buena Vista is an Orlando property.
If both those properties go, it's another blow for Carlson...not having any presence in the Disneyland/Anaheim resort area is pretty ridiculous for any US chain. (not counting Newport Beach, which is far enough away to consider it outside that area).

Ouch, Buena Park (Radisson Suites) is also the one I prefer over the Newport Beach one. The Newport Beach one nickels and dimes ridiculously, and had deceptive billing practices (that I outlined in another thread after my stay there), so I'm not eager to return there again. I used the Buena Park for the second Radisson promo. I don't know, if Buena Park leaves, where I'd do another Radisson promo (given not liking how Newport Beach operates).
He panned the Rad by USC as well
havent stayed there but heard NB was a very nice property, but then what Hotel isnt when compared to the vast majority of Rads. On the other hand I love the CIS's way better then Fairfield Inns or Hamptons

He told me where he used to be the GM and why they left that chain. Usually its either they arent getting enough people booking via the chains website so why pay all the Fees with being with that group. Or the Exec level wants them to pour millons into fixing the place up and they just dont see enough of areturn on their money to spend it

Based on this thread we should add the Grand Lucayan to the "gone" list.

I've stayed at Rad Covina many times. It's good to see Park Inn in So. Cal. Now I just hope they upgrade their WiFi service there.

I really hope this doesn't happen. If both these properties go off CC, there won't be many Rad's left in the LA area. (only ones I can think of is LAX, USC, ONT, NB..with Covina changing to Park Inn) Plus, these two usually had the best rates around the area.

Chemnitz
the hotel will be closed on 25.12.2012
I called today the park inn chemnitz but was connected to park inn erfurt-apfelstaedt.
I asked why I couldnīt to any booking at both websides - clubcarlson and park inn. - no hint, no message.
so the front desk from park inn erfurt told me that the hotel will close tomorrow - not sure for ever or for renovation (the park inn chemnitz was open 1991 as a country inn and suites)
