What type of accommodations do you like to stay in when you travel?
-
Airbnb
Hostels
Boutique Hotels
Chain Hotels (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt, Wyndham, etc)

Many times, people will suggest a unique hotel or Airbnb to me and I'm always like, cool I'll check it out, but to be honest I only say that because I don't want to be rude or dismiss their suggestion. In all honesty I AM NEVER GOING TO STAY at the suggestion, unless it's a Hilton, Marriott or IHG property. I have entirely too many points (8.6 million Hilton, 800k IHG, and almost 800k Marriott) to pay for accommodations. My wife and I haven't paid for accommodations internationally in 11 years, and now we travel as a family of four. I am definitely not trying to pay for NOTHING if I don't have to lol.

We are all about staying for FREE and having elite hotel status for complimentary suite upgrades, FREE cooked to order daily breakfast, daily housekeeping, and executive lounges with free food and drinks during the 6-8pm happy hour.

If you ask me where we stayed at in ANY country we've visited, 9 times out of 10 it's going to be a Hilton, Marriott or IHG property. That 1 time is when we stay somewhere like Giraffe Manor for 1 day of the 5 days we were in Kenya, or when we stay at the Hawaii Disney Resort for 2 nights of the 7, we will be in Hawaii lol.

I won't be able to tell you about some unique hotel but I can tell you two cards you should get that will give you elite status so you can get FREE breakfast, FREE lounge access and FREE room upgrades without having to stay a bunch of nights to reach a status (I mean who has time for all that lol). 🤷🏿😂
