Is the 35K free night certificate actually useful if most hotels cost far more points

What is the real value of the complimentary 35,000-point annual free night benefit if it is rarely enough to book decent hotels? I tried to use my annual free night and found that a hotel costing around $250 per night requires about 81,000 points. That feels like a very poor...

Intercontinental Sanur Bali experience (non recommendation)

Sorry, the photo of a cockroach (or possibly beetle, not entirely sure) outside our room is not the main point here, though it did happen and seems fairly common in Indonesia. The main issue was the service at this property, which was very disappointing overall. The room itself...

Unexpected 10 percent service charge on Marriott stay in San Jose del Cabo

Hi everyone, is it normal for a Marriott property to add a 10 percent service charge that wasn’t clearly disclosed during the booking process? This happened during my stay in San Jose del Cabo, and I wasn’t aware of the charge until later. It was my first time visiting the area,...

Issues with Hyatt's digital key system

I really appreciate the convenience of Hyatt's digital key feature when it actually works. The problem is that, most of the time, it doesn't. This time, what concerned me even more was that the virtual key displayed in the app wasn't even assigned to my room, or anything close...

Has anyone stayed here? Is it worth booking?
