It’s also typically a very expensive city for hotels, with costs ranging upwards of $350-400 a night for the top downtown business hotel. Luckily, IHG points are pretty easy to come by so finding good points options downtown. The Toronto Intercontinental is in a prime spot smack dab in the middle of town, a perfect launching...

Element Bozeman, Hotel Review

As the only SPG in the entire state of Montana, the Element Bozeman is a bit of an oddity. Element, being an extended stay property, is smack in downtown Bozeman, MT. It also commands a bit of a premium price during the summer. Bozeman is a perfect starting or stopping point for a trek down to Yellowstone. The hotel is situated just a quick 10 minutes from the airport, so as soon as we arrived and picked up our rental car, the ride...

The Inn at 97 Winder, Detroit, Hotel Review

It’s no secret that we’re fans of SPG properties and chain hotels in general. While they’ve got a large footprint, there are places that they just don’t reach. Every now and again we like to stay in boutique hotels, too! I decided what a cool mother’s day it would be if she and I could go to a Detroit Tiger’s game,...

Hilton San Jose Downtown, Hotel Review

We had a bad Hilton experience a few months back. It isn’t worth repeating and isn’t very blog worthy, however, we did get a free night certificate anywhere in the Hilton portfolio of hotels as compensation. Because Hilton is not our main hotel chain, we were perplexed on where and how to use it. For our recent trip to Hawaii, we couldn’t find any decent upgrade space on Alaska...
