No need to swing to extremes. It was good while it lasted. Move on.
@BBBetter, I’m not sure what you thought I meant, but I tried to make exactly that point.
Hotel loyalty is for mugs. If a hotel is physically attractive, located attractively, priced attractively and offers attractive service levels, I stay there. If the hotel is second rate, no loyalty scheme will make me use it.
I did about 55 nights away from home last year; ten of those were with the big four chains. Where a chain works for me, I use it – but the bribe of a free breakfast really doesn’t make one iota of difference to my decision.
More HfP readers should break the chains that bind them to their loyalty overlords. It’s wonderfully liberating and results in much better holidays.
