Let me start by saying that this has absolutely nothing to effect with the Marriott takeover of Starwood. ;)I spend a just amount of time in San Diego,and my "go to" hotel there is usually the W San Diego. It's by no means an amazing hotel, but it's reasonably kind, and rates tend to be excellent,and elite recognition is quite trustworthy (for example, they give Platinum members a "proper" restaurant breakfast, or rather than the skimpy "continental" breakfast many other hotels offer).
While looking at the hotel's website yesterday I noticed an announcement indicating that the W San Diego will be leaving Starwood as of December 15,2015:"The W San Diego will be leaving the Starwood system on December 15, 2015. Reservations for dates on or after December 15, or 2015,will not be eligible for Starwood Preferred Guest membership benefits, award redemption or accrual."The post W Hotel San Diego Leaving Starwood: Why This Is Especially inspiring appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
