Westin Georgetown (2026 Hotel Review)
I stayed at the Westin Georgetown for two nights in February 2026. I really enjoyed my stay!

Westin DC City Center (2026 Hotel Review)
One of my most common travel destinations is Washington, DC. Most every time I visit, I stay in a different hotel because there are so many nice hotels that all sometimes have good rates with either cash or points. This next hotel is the first in the DC series for the blog: The Westin DCContinue reading “Westin DC City Center (2026 Hotel Review)”

After having updated my review of the Marriott Bonvoy Bold card, it’s time to update the paid version of the card: the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless (spoiler: all the cards begin with B except The Ritz Carlton Card).

Hotel review: Kimpton Marlowe Boston
For my 2025/2026 transitionary post, I’m going to attempt to grade a hotel properly for once. This review is effectively an update from 2023 when I stayed at the Kimpton Marlowe in Cambridge, MA. In the last few years of traveling, I’ve started to realize that what I look for in a hotel isn’t theContinue reading “Hotel review: Kimpton Marlowe Boston”

The final card in the IHG card review series is the Premier Business Card, which is the business version of the IHG Premier Card and comes with a $99 annual fee. I haven’t yet been convinced to swap over to IHG, but by coincidence, where I’m planning to move next month is beside a HolidayContinue reading “IHG Premier Business Card”

IHG Traveler card (2025 update!)
We’ve covered Hyatt, Marriott, and Hilton’s cards, which are some of the most valuable hotel programs in the world. The next program of note is with IHG. IHG has a wide variety of hotels, including Holiday Inn and Kimpton. Holiday Inns aren’t exciting hotels, but Kimptons often are very nice. I’m not very familiar withContinue reading “IHG Traveler card (2025 update!)”
