Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown and JW Marriott Houston Downtown offer different loyalty program experiences. Hyatt’s award stays generally mean award stays, with waived resort and destination fees. Marriott’s breakfast benefits can be complicated, but the lounge access at JW Marriott Houston Downtown was impressive. The author concludes that Hyatt won the overall value contest.
Authenticity is scheduled by time slot, and relaxation requires planning.
