Stayed at a Hampton inn last weekend and was pleasantly surprised. It may have been recently renovated though So not a representative sample of the whole portfolio. The Hyatt House i stayed at across from Universal was really nice. I would go back there for sure.
The dreaded buzzer went off Monday after going through the magnetometer which I knew was BS because I had zero metal on me. Flagged for secondary screening which luckily was just swabbing my iPhone instead of the usual “hello how ya doin”. Whatever. Better than going through the millimeter...
Stayed at a really nice Hampton Friday night and a Hyatt last night. Both will get my business again. I’m fortunate for work travel I can stay wherever I want within cost parameters. Mostly bigger cities so all the super chains are available.
