Even still, SPG. I’m holding on as long as possible

Not that Marriott properties are terrible but in my experience, comparing Marriott properties to similar Starwood properties, the Marriott locations are generally more sterile, feel dated/cheaper/rundown with lipstick upgrades applied, and aren’t as comfortable.

Not to mention the lesser lounge offerings, lesser points earned, higher cost to redeem free nights and fewer status perks. The service at Starwood’s generally seems superior as well

Clearly I’m not pleased about the merger lol

like

Marriott for quality and Hilton for quicker reward redemptions. Hilton has a wider portfolio and redeeming points for a stay at a Conrad property is so worth it.

Not from a points perspective. From quality of service perspective. I feel Marriotts have a homely feeling. SPGs just try too hard...

As much as I think the merger's working out so far, Marriott just has so many old, shitty hotels...

Hi all! I currently live in LA but my wedding next year will be in my hometown of Chicago. I plan to go wedding dress shopping soon in both LA and Chicago. If I find my dream wedding dress in Chicago, I’d like to order it to be shipped to a store in LA so that I can have my fittings throughout the year without having to travel back to Chicago. However this also means I would have to fly to Chicago with my wedding dress. Has anyone been in this situation before? If so, how was the experience?
