April 11, 2011 - Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa announced its partnership with Stash Hotel Rewards ®, an innovative hotel rewards program that enables travelers to quickly earn free nights at distinctive, independent hotels without blackouts or inflexible category restrictions. Guests of Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa can now earn points toward free nights each time they stay at any of the over 120 distinctive hotels in more than 80 cities that participate in Stash.

“As an hotelier operating independent properties for over 30 years, one of the major challenges I've faced is how to compete against chain hotels that offer reward programs to their guest for brand loyalty,” said John Narigi Vice President and General Manager of Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa. “Before Stash Hotel Rewards launched, independent properties were at a distinct disadvantage. Stash has leveled the playing field by offering independent properties an opportunity to provide guests with a loyalty rewards program that is equal to and in many ways better than what the chains offer. This affiliation of independent, upscale properties provides our guest with a worldwide network of hotels with a similar goal; to provide guest with a unique experience that they cannot find in a chain hotel.”

Guests can easily sign up for a free account at the Stash website www.stashrewards.com. Points can be earned immediately and never expire. Redemption is simple and free from rigid reward categories, and black-out dates don't exist. Additionally, Stash partner hotels provide members with exclusive travel deals.
