I like the London Hilton Park Lane-well located with good tube access and fabulous executive lounge

like

The Westin in Dublin is only okay but it is close to most of the tourist sites. There is a ton of construction on the roads right now.

The SPGs in London are not my favorite. The W is a night club with bathrooms in the middle of the room. Le Meridien's rooms are pretty old but nice sized and it is where I usually say because it is close to the office. The rooms at the Sheraton are older and creaky like the Le Meridien. The park tower has less historical flair but rooms are nice, probably where I would stay on vacation. Great Northern rooms are well designed but very small and it is right at the main train station if you want to travel.

The only Marriott I have stayed is Grosnver park and it is a little clubby like the W but has a very nice club lounge.

Don't stay at Hiltons

My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
