Hey Guys,
I'm (rather selfishly!) gathering information for short notice hotel stays. We have a situation coming up where my wife is going to be returning to the US 'at some time before her flight' so it could be that she needs a room for the night, and could be that she will go directly to the airport.
We had considered booking a throw away room, IE take a cheap award room and if we no show just drop it, and lose the points, however, not only are we losing points here, but often times these hotels penalize that with a cash payment also (never understood that.. but hey..)
So I thought it would be cool to build a list of the chains and their policies, so if you are ever in this situation, or perhaps your flight is canceled for weather reasons and you need to get a room, you know which one to call first.
The threads are here, feel free to start new ones if I missed any, and I'll compile them into a master list/wiki when we get some good data.
If you answer in one of those threads with an affirmative 'booked in the lobby' please make sure that you use the poll at the top also, as that will allow me to quickly find the result.
