  1. @j_lloyd Don't mean to sound critical. I think the app(s) are very good, at least as good as what I've seen from other hotel companies.
  2. @j_lloyd True, but would be nice to be able to specify search by brand or price point. Also, "specials" tab is just text with no links... ?
  3. Personally, I'd prefer a single app. I don't partronize only a single brand, yet I'm not about to download 7 apps from one hotel company.
  4. Hilton Worldwide opted to go with different iPhone apps for each of its 7 brands rather than single companywide app. Smart or ill-advised?

  14. RT @muathletics: Congrats to @muwomenssoccer, defeated West Virginia 1-0 tonight to advance to BIG EAST Tournament final http://bit.ly/ngw8Y
  15. At Peninsula Chicago's absurdly decadent chocolate lounge. It's what Willy Wonka's factory would have been if he were a luxury hotelier.
  16. What does 2010 hold for hotel social media marketing? I'm taking input for our December forecast issue. DM me with any insights...
  17. Not comeback, but could be worse. RT @HOTELSmagazine 2010 U.S. hotel forecast: Occupancy up, ADR, RevPAR down marginally http://bit.ly/DvDH0
