Top priorities in choosing a hotel for business or leisure travel?

Hello! I work as a sales manager for an international hotel chain. Our business has been suffering as a result of the current economic situation, so I am asking for the following feedback from all of you:

What are the things that would make you choose a particular hotel when you are looking for accommodations, whether it is for business travel or leisure travel?

Is it all about rate? Location (if so, what about the location)? Brand recognition or rewards programs? Amenities on property?

And where do you get your information to help you make your decision? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Why choose particular hotel ?

    * Location: say i want to be in the times square of new york or in the downtown of niagara falls, i want to be as close as possible when money is not an issue (ie money means my vacation budget)

    * Money/Budget/Rate: when money /budget are tight, I will pick a hotel that is the cheapest but with nice accomodations - not flea

    * Kids: when with kids we want to stay at a place with the best indoor fun: ie water park

    * Brand Recognition: if its a trip across the states and 2 brands come into view, I will pick the one that I have had better experience with

    * Perks: if there are 2 very closely competing hotels (side by side) I will pick the one that offers free continental breakfast and whatever other incentive/perq
