i hate opening new threads but i just couldnt find anywhere to post. im looking to go away with the family on points. were a group of 8 and obviously neeed more than a suiite but we did just fine in hyatt houses with the Trio rooms. they give you 2 full closed bedrooms plus a living room area with pull out sofa and full kitchen. they are extremely reasonable too. two regular adjoining rooms wont work for us since we need more room and also need the kitchen. my question is if other hotel brands have similar configurations like candlewood suites or Homewood or something like that. any input appreciated.
IME the 2 bedroom suites at Residence Inns, TownePlace Suites, StayBridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites, Sonesta ES, etc, are not bookable with points. We have often been upgraded for free but only once was I able to get them to confirm the upgrade in advance. I must say, many of these two bedroom suites are bigger than my apartment....
