My best friend works for them, and would be all over. I followed him for a few weeks taking in the sights while he was working.

great places they have

I love some of your recomendations, but... I was in Harrison, Arkansas the other night and had a really hard time finding the W. I looked and looked and even argued with the lady at 411 and she swears that there is no W in Harrison.

Maybe I need to ONLY work in the big cities like you guys do.

starwood would be my first choice if available, otherwise it would be hilton.

Marriott, Hyatt, or Embassy Suites (in no particular order).

Typically, if there's one near, Mandarin Oriental.

Starwood has been good to us. There is usually a Westin, W, or nicer in most big cities.
