No, just checked, there are still rooms for 99 bucks available. You can of course pay for Club level if you're not SPG Platinum

Yes, a "traditional" room is $99 per night + taxes but they only seem to have rooms with 2 double beds left. If you select a room with one king bed you'll only find club floor or junior suite rooms at $119 per night + taxes.

I will check with the hotel if they have more King rooms available and get them uploaded to the website if they do. Stay tuned!

For participants not taking part in the European part of the event, we have opened up a few rooms at the 99USD rate for the Sheraton IAH if you want to arrive on Tuesday instead.
Please use the same link if you want to book that night as well

When I booked yest they only offered $99 or $119 for JrSuite. I decided to splurge for the JrSuite since I only have corp gold status w/ *Wood & figured I wouldn't get an upgrade. I don't recall club floor being one of the options, (as might have gone for that instead w/ the gold status). Just $99/king reg room or $119Jr. Suite.

Club room, Regular and Jr Suite were available when I booked but I guess there was a lot of reservation done last night. Decided also to go for a Jr Suite, because I feel the competition for upgrades will be high

So which is really the better deal at $119? Club room with lounge access or slightly bigger junior suite without lounge access (assuming no SPG status)?

10 bigger suites available at the Houston Sheraton
Well, folks..
Today, Theresa at the Sheraton IAH, gave me control of 10 larger suites at the property. Thats right, the upgrades are in my hands
..
Let's see what we will do with them, but a thought was to raffle the upgrades off and give the money to our favorite Flyertalk charities. There are so many Platinums so it would not be fair otherwise.
I will also ask the other properties for the same ;-)
