adding some info about AVANI and Barracuda. AVANI is not "guest friendly" meaning if you "meet" someone cute and want to bring her to your room for a 'friendly conversation,' Avani staff will stop you, and charge you a GUEST fee. Barracuda is guest-friendly, they will not bother you.

I spent one night in Blackwood in May. Nick from another YT channel had made a video of the hotel. I do not recommend the hotel. The room was OK, a little weird in a good way but the biggest problem was the soundproofing. While the hotel was perhaps 5% of capacity, I heard everything being discussed in one of the rooms next door. The best part of the hotel is the location as well as the garage lift. But: Blackwood - never again.

Good series. I stayed at the holiday inn over 100 times. For business so would go with certain hotel groups that had the best loyalty program. Usually access to club room, free breakfast, snacks, drinks, evening small buffet, unlimited espresso. Also access to boardroom and area for business meetings. Different criteria but things like early check in and late check out plis free upgrades to rooms. Different way of doing hotels but would be good to see you do a series in this segment

I have to agree with you on that choice. Something I've kinda noticed with Thailand is if there is a new opening on a hotel they usually run some great deals. I was able to book the Racha 5 star hotel on a private island for 7 nights at under 50 usd for private villa right on the beach with 2 nights free. So only 250 usd for the 7 nights. That was many years ago now you can't even get 1 night for that price. I was also able to book Millennium in Bangkok when it first opened for under 60 usd for an executive suite. Not sure what that would cost today but I'm guessing a pretty penny. You need to catch these hotels when they first open up.
