Ritz or something better.
I've stayed in some crappy hotels/motels.Today's big chain franchise hotels are good when new but after a few years they stop maintaining them and milk them.Then they are sold to someone named Patel.Not all of course. Courtyard by Marriot are consistently good.Hotels have gotten quite expensive.
Any Marriott property. The points convert to United or American Airlines. I checked and I have over 1000 nights at Marriott. This is not something to be proud of. It bought some flights for the family. It also meant being away from home for over three years. Not exactly a high water mark for a man. Probably something I’ll die regretting. Oh well…
