Stay away Hotels

Marriott - Houston (Bush airport) same as Hyatt above
Holiday Inn - Moline, Il - a stay from he-l, raw chicken, but the night manager is nice
Days Hotel - Herndon, Va - dumbest and worst dining staff in the country and tasteless food
Based upon my current activities I'll spend about 200 nights in hotels this year, last year was about 120 or so, and you get to know them after a while. Some are so-so, some are good, and a few are great. Most of my stays are for 3-5 nights so I have a pretty good exposure to the facilities.
