so true. I remember an overnight at Envoy, we were waiting for the crown plaza bus (arguably a pretty nice one actually) and the AA crew we were chatting with was waiting for a country inn.

Damn yo. Even at Spirit we stay at a nice Time Sq hotel for long LGA. And Jersey City for long EWR. Do they even put you in Manhattan for long LGA/JFK?

One is a Courtyard at Central Park, and the other is a Martinique (Hilton) in midtown.

The Courtyard Times Square and the Martinique Broadway.

both are decent/ good locations but the hotels themselves tend to attract a cheaper crowd. As a major/legacy pilot group we should be staying at full service Marriott/Westin/Hilton/Hyatts.. not Courtyards/Inns/Garden Inns/etc.

Don’t even get me started on the EWR hotels. Every airline stays at the Marriott EWR for the short.. . we are at a Courtyard 10mins away right by an interstate. Even my last regional wasn’t that bad.

Long EWR? Everyone goes to manhattan. AA goes to downtown Newark/Elizabeth City. Pathetic.

You guys should see our new Vegas long layover hotel. Anyone know where Henderson NV is? 40mins east of the strip at some retirement community. Yes, our lame and meager hotel language does state we need to be downtown for anything longer than 17hrs. But downtown where, exactly? AA chose downtown Henderson, NV. Unreal

But apparently the membership didn’t care about hotel language in this last contract. So here we are.

Henderson? Ouch. I hope it's a better experience then the days of Circus Circus or (god forbid) Greek Isles.

Those two are like the Four Seasons compared to the porn set aka the Alexis Park.

I just curled up in the fetal position and hid under a blanket for a half hour. Probably just some unresolved issues from staying in both those ****holes.
