Hotel loyalty programs take me to places I would be unlikely airline employee travel to visit otherwise. Case in point was finding myself in Calabasas, California last week. The only reason airline employee travel I was staying in Calabasas was the Country Inn hotel was on Highway 101, convenient for my drive south to my primary destination of Disneyland, Anaheim and the location in the San Fernando Valley meant I did not have to continue on and drive the LA freeways on a Friday night.
On top of the complimentary benefits provided by the Country Inn brand was a room measuring about 450 sq. ft. That is about 25% larger than the average hotel room and nearly as large as most luxury hotel standard rooms.
Country Inn Suites Calabasas is located in the old town section of the city. My mother told me this was a town famous for motorcycle races in the 1950s. The place looked like the kind of place where the mountain canyon dwellers, the entertainment star types from the Santa Monica Mountains come to town for supplies and food.

My wife and I have two stays scheduled for July 13-14 and July 14-15 to finish up our three Carlson promos. We are staying at a Country Inn that weekend, and I wanted to make sure that if we check out on the 15th that the stay ending that day will count for the promo. I remember some people having trouble for the Big Night Promo last fall because their stays fell at the end. I assume that I will have no problem, but we are going out of our way to make the stay, so I want to make sure it will work. Your thoughts?
Very nice review. I have a stay at Park Inn in Fresno on July 4th on the way to San Jose from Anaheim. Is it OK to check in and out on the same day to earn the promo points? We will arrive in Fresno around 2pm and plan to hang around until 6pm to continue driving to SJ. Thanks.
My wife and I stayed at this Country Inn back in 2010 and found it to be a nice, clean and convenient place to stay on our way to LA. We had a room facing the parking lot, where we did not have to deal with any freeway noise whatsoever. Do they still offer free cookies in the evening?
@Kumar: I think so, however I haven t received airline employee travel any points yet for my Points+Cash stay at the Radisson Blu in Hamburg, Germany three weeks ago (my regular stay at a Park Inn posted within a couple of days). A missing points claim is underway
airline employee travel @Alex That is a tough choice to make if you check in and out on same day. I would probably not check out myself if that were my situation. I know the rules state that member must checkout, but I don t see it as a problem to not checkout, whereas I have seen hotel stays in the past not post correctly when checking in and checking out on the same date.
I stayed there this past weekend. Front desk couldn t check me in till 3 P.M. I arrived at 2:45 P.M. I liked the Country and INN in Ontario, CA much better. You get fresh baked cookies airline employee travel instead airline employee travel of store bought cookies.
Radisson is winning me over with these promotions. I d never stayed airline employee travel in a Radisson or a Country Inn until this promo, and was very impressed with both Radisson (Branson, MO) and Country Inn (St. Peters, MO outside St. Louis). The biggest positive was the great customer airline employee travel service. Maybe it is because I m in the midwest, but both times the hotel staff seemed delighted to see me. I got welcome gifts and upgrades as a Gold Elite at both locations.
