I plan to move on this within the next few days. The current front runner:

Hotels and Places to Stay

I think it succinctly captures what should reside in the forum and is well understood amongst our worldwide community.

Action has now been taken on this suggestion.

The group heading: Hotels and Places to Stay.

Added to this section:

• Expert Hotel Reviews
• Hotel Deals

Thanks to all for your thoughts on this matter.

Looks great, and appreciate the additional description below the main forum title. Thanks!

Will the Luxury Hotels forum be moved too?

No.

I think that is an excellent solution. I have no problem with hotels' loyalty programs being discussed in this forum as it is one of the factors which some members use in deciding where to stay. Indeed, for a few members it might be the only factor.

However, for an increasing number of us the devaluation of loyalty programs has encouraged us to place more emphasis on other factors -- including location, price, room quality, etc.

I am HHonors Gold -- but only because I am too lazy to cancel my Surpass card. In the past year, I have made trips to five different European countries, each for a week. In only one of these cases did I stay at a Hilton property. I chose it because it offered smoking rooms, had a good location, was an excellent hotel, and because while it is quite expensive in dollar terms it was offering award stays at very low rates and I had enough points to cover it.

Give me what I want and I will stay there -- be it a hotel or any other type of lodging. If I can get HHonors points, that is just icing on the cake but the 3 Cs (Cost, Comfort, and Convenience) will always be the main things I am looking at.

I didn't notice the new forum title until last week when I went searching for my favorite haunt, the Hotel Deals Forum.

I would like to suggest the word Accommodation(s) in place of Places to Stay if a time for change should present itself again in the future. Hotels & Accommodation(s) rolls off the tongue a little easier.

And I will start a thread for members to discuss the Hotel Deals thread being moved from Miles & Points, so that it doesn't clog our General Codes thread. I hope that's okay. If it is a topic not open for discussion, I understand if it needs to be locked or deleted.

Thank you.

Appreciate it. It was certainly a front runner as I dithered over half a dozen or so choices.

Sounds like a good idea. I try to inform inform inform but sometimes I stop short of sufficient.
