Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?

Booked basic room on points, upgraded to a King Bed Sky View Room.

N/A

What was good and what was bad?

Good:

-Good status recognition, pretty good upgrade and late check-out wasn't a problem too
-Been provided with chocolate strawberries every day
-Great location within a few blocks from Times Square

Bad:
-Nothing particularly bad, however we've been charged for a minibar, which have never been used. Had to chase them to get a refund.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
The rates were pretty high (over 500$ for a basic room) on the dates I stayed so booking with points was a great value, considering that I managed to book with the 50K per night.
