For those of you planning on using Denise's Friends and Family during the year, you may want to consider purchasing the Royal Ambassador for $100. With that you get a free weekend night during the year, late check out, one free movie per stay, a welcome gift, free bottled water, fresh fruit upon arrival, upgrades and other amenities per location (e.g., free breakfasts or internet). It is a nice deal. This is the Intercontinental deal..other properties have other deals...Crown Plaza gave me a confirmed reservation in a sold out situation.
