Career hotelier; happy to extend my tier status to travelers who do not have the time to get to that level in time for their trip; offers potential upgrades based on availability, daily complimentary breakfast, and executive lounge access if the hotel has one. Staying at a comfortable hotel with great service makes your travels that much better. Your home away from home needs to be as comfortable as possible. I enjoy great restaurants, live music, and hidden gems that cannot be found on any other website. I took my London colleague out to a comedy club and a live music venue that he could never find out on his own and he told me that he will never forget his first time in NYC. THAT is what makes life and travel all the more worthwhile.
