Can you negotiate a new rate with a SPG hotel? I know I will be staying on a travel project for the next 5 months and don’t want to stay at the crap sheraton that within budget.

Yup find people from your project willing to stay and email the hotel manager or sales person and make a deal, I've done it. Also check if your client does not have any deal with them

the hotel I want to stay at is about 30 minutes and there aren’t many travelers on the project I’m on. Also I just asked if they would be willing to stay at that hotel and it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to leave the sheraton cause it’s 10 mins from the client site. Is it enough if it’s just me to negotiate a rate down?

Yep, ask for Corp Sales or Business Travel Mgr

Call the SPG main line, some of the reservations folks can hell

I’m in Boston

Chances are low being a solo traveler for such a short stay.

Check other companies SET code and see if that works. In my experience deloitte and McKinsey have excellent discounts

I do it all the time.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.

Thank you.
