During one of my many trips this summer I did something I’ve never done before: I paid for someone else’s room with my credit card. And it did NOT go well. Normally I book hotels through my company’s corporate travel site. This time, though, the hotel had a really great deal on their website that…
When I’m on vacation, tipping housekeeping is a no brainer. In fact, any time I stay in a hotel for longer than a few nights it’s just included in the budget. But for business trips I’m usually in the same place for a night or two, and in the hotel hardly at all. It’s not…

Hard to believe it’s already been a year! Talk about time flying. This time last year I was planning a trip to Manila and getting ready for Blog World. Fun times! One year ago: I shared my Top Five Travel Necessities for Airplanes, Hotels, and Grooming. A friend reminded people how important it is to…
These days, there is no shortage of hotels aimed at the business traveler. But just because a chain says they know what road warriors want doesn’t make it so! One place that gets it right—Hyatt Place. You can tell they know what works for business travelers from the moment you step inside. The nice people…
Summer travel is heating up, both for families and for business travelers. Cambria Suites, part of the Choice Hotels family, recently released a survey about family travel. Almost half of respondents have taken a family summer vacation (49%), and nearly one quarter of adults (24%) report that they usually need a vacation when they return…
We’ve all had mornings go horribly wrong, whether you’re at home or on the road. Hyatt Place is doing their part to make mornings just a little bit better by introducing their new a.m. Kitchen Skillet. It’s always been free, and now it’s been upgraded! Enjoy breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, fresh fruit, waffles, pastries, juice, toast,…
During the two week conference I recently completed, most of my hotel stay was lovely. Nice room, great breakfast, etc. But there was one thing that frustrated me every single day, and that was my hotel room key. Now, I have checked into a lot of hotels, and I almost always get the same warning.…
When you think of hotels created with the business traveler in mind, one of the chains to immediately come to mind is Courtyard by Marriott. I don’t think I know a single person who travels regularly for work that doesn’t stay at Courtyards at least some of the time. The nice folks at the DFW…
I recently heard about a promotion Hyatt is doing this spring. It’s already underway, but goes until the end of April. It’s a pretty good deal, and an even better deal if you have a Hyatt credit card. I don’t typically stay at Hyatt properties, but this makes me want to rethink that… Just thought…
