Pros

Employee travel discounts are OK, but I would never stay at any Choice hotel chain because they are all below economy brands.

Cons

Choice corporate office has no urgency in replying to hotel properties. I'm in the Sales Dept and it takes up to 3-days for someone to respond back to you from the RFP help desk...3 days!! They really need to increase their employees to help assist with the volume of requests/questions sent from properties. When you need to load rates into the GDS system you have to contact your DCM for LNR's and the RFP dept for national accounts. It would save so much time if Choice would allow each property to submit GDS forms for approval and go from there...Choice really needs to step up their game by working more efficiently. I placed an order for sales collateral. It has been over a month and I still have not received my order. I sent an email to "choicemarkit" and the agent said it normally takes over a month for any collateral to be shipped out. ??? A MONTH!!! That is insane... My review title says it all. WORST HOTEL BRAND TO WORK FOR.

Pros

Easy interface to use - when it works. Great discounts but not as may great options compared to other widely known brands. Every Choice Hotel is independently run as Choice is a franchise so what may be good for me may not apply to others in the chain.

Cons

ChoiceADVANTAGE constantly has issues which can make the job very hard and stressful. In my 2 years with Choice, the system has gone down(un-scheduled) at least once every three months-and once for more than 12 hours! IT is not helpful and "emergency tools" hardly work as they usually go down when the main PMS goes down. When the system isn't down, there is always multiple ongoing glitches that can affect the quality of service provided to the guests.
