    Happy to add a comment. Marriott Bonvoy is a Utah thing, not so great in my opinion. I own a residence/condo. When I purchased the Residence Condo it was branded and managed by Starwood. The St. Regis brand under Marriot no longer lives up to the advertisement, white glove, butler etc. I am now seaching for something better than this, perhaps a 1031 exchange for a condo/residence that is not so tied into it’s point system. Something like the Four Seasons for example. With Marriott’s point system the losers end up being the propery owners.

    I wish you could investigate how Sheraton Flex Vacation is making a mockery of being associated with Marriott Bonvoy and even using the Bonvoy credit card to further their business. See if you agree they sell to you as a Hotel Vacation Club and it’s really a Timeshare scam. Would be a good investigation story if you agreed. But only my opinion in my mind for getting taken

    Hi Ricky,

    I loved this post.

    Like you, I never really gave Moxy or Aloft a second look because I’m pretty firmly in the JW / Marriott / Autograph / Renaissance/ Westin / Sheraton band.

    I’ve recently found myself overnight at the Munich train station and then with a very short overnight layover at LHR. I stayed at Moxy & Aloft because I had some 25K certificates to burn. I was very pleasantly surprised. They aren’t properties I’d seek out, but I found them MUCH more comfortable than SH/FI/RI. Don’t rule them out!

      Yeah, I’m open to an Aloft or Moxy stay (the former much more likely than the latter) if it’s the only practical option, or if it’s just a quick stay and I’d to have a room with a bit more character than a potentially bland Sheraton. That was the case in Montevideo where the Aloft and Sheraton are right next to each other, and the Aloft didn’t disappoint.

    Nice comprehensive summary Ricky. Is there a resource that lists the perks per brand per status? I’ll be heading to Tambo Del Inca at the end of December and was wondering what type of perks (and what level of room upgrade) I could expect, as a Platinum.

    Great overview.
