Hotel shops

SQM has a new program for a large chain. Unlike one of SQM's other clients this is not an upscale chain but any measure, and you only get reimbursed 50% (of the very inexpensive rate), but the guidelines imply that the form is very easy and you seemingly have a choice of staying from one to four nights. This would probably be a better option for route shoppers looking to save on lodging than for someone looking for a romantic getaway. If anyone does one of these shops let us know how it goes.

Ditto. Any insight into experience working w/ SQM is appreciated. I signed up but never ended up doing anything with them yet.

The 50% reimbursement is a deal breaker for me with SQM. I find that quite absurd. I certainly do not want to support a company that won't even cover reimbursement.

I found the whole thing very odd myself. They wouldn’t cover 100% of 1 night but they’re fine with 50% of up to 4 nights. How does that math work? Not sure what the calculus was here but it feels weird for sure.

I have performed evaluations for this Coyle client for around 3 years now, and evaluated around 10 of their hotels. The guidelines are much clearer than they used to be. The client has a great selection of properties of a generally high standard. I do however find their evaluation app a little tedious. It is very SLOW uploading photos. I'm not sure if it's just my iPhone but scrolling through the camera roll to find a photo can take a long time, and that is because of the app, not that I took the photo 100s of photos ago! The reports are also of a reasonable length given the evaluation criteria.
