Does it Get Any Douchier?


From Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback, presented without further comment:

All you Westins out there that charge for things like health club use and don't
value your frequent-stayers? Check out the Marriott Denver City Center.

The health club is free, with 24-hour-a-day cardio equipment and gym along with pool usage 18 hours a day. Free water, free cold towels in a mini-fridge for post-workout comfort, mini-TVs on all the cardio equipment. Not enough elliptical trainers, but that's a fight we travelers will never win, even in places where you pay to use the gym.

My summers at Courtyards and Fairfield Inns in the training-camp towns of America have built me up to some big status at Marriotts, so I have the good fortune to get the breakfast deal at the room on the high floor, with CNN on the TV and a nice buffet laid out, gratis. Special K and Granola mixed, with lowfat milk, topped by a banana, with fresh-brewed Starbucks House Blend and one of the very few times I'll check out the Wall Street Journal. Why? Because it's there.

I think it is more than a little obvious that this guy is not frequenting too many health clubs and he sure as shit does not fill up on Special K and Granola in the morning. What. A. Fraud.
