Not sure if this is something people will be interested in, but I'm branching out on my Youtube to not just review the TS resorts, but the hotels I stay in on the way to and from my further away trips. Probably more useful as exemplars of a brand, but maybe also for the specific locations if you happen to be going near them.
 
I heard you mention "by Radisson" in the video. Is Country Inn & Suites part of Radisson? I thought they were part of Choice Hotels. A Google search seems to indicate that it is part of Radisson outside the Americas but part of Choice in the Americas. I didn't know that.

It might make me snooty, but I am not sure I could bring myself to stay at either a Choice Hotel brand or even the budget level Wyndham brands.

IDK on the sign on the building it said "By Radisson" so I just assumed that was the case. I didn't actually research it beyond a glance at wikipedia.

EDIT: And for content I might give them a try... very occasionally.

You might in fact be snooty but choice has some gems. The Cambria brand has been great each time we stayed, Columbus and Chicago. Ascend was where they housed their TS components so formerly Bluegreen seems to now be Westgate.
The rest of the classes I understand though.

Interesting about the Choice Hotels and Westgate partnership. I hadn't heard about that, or at least I don't remember it. I looked it up and it seems they partnered with them in January of this year. It seems that when HGV (Bluegreen) dropped Choice Hotels they went with Westgate.

Westgate has "been going" with everyone lately lol (like rent is due)

They'll have tables inside Chuck E Cheese soon like they have at sports stadiums offering 3 night promos. Lol

Hopefully not.
 
If it was only a one night stay, I would be ok with it.

It seems that the new management that took over Westgate Resorts is trying everything they can to push the company forward. If that is what we would call it. With HGV in Bass Pro shops, I guess Westgate is looking to find victims elsewhere.
