I got my laptop out and showed here there were was under "suite for a room promo " available at $450, so then finally the "grade 3" gave me one. When I phoned him later to ask why he lied, he said he 'unblocked" a room. He then said he woudl get the manager to call. No one phoned me. They were caught out.

Is this the Sheraton Sydney? Glad you got a suite, BUT As discussed before, just because you can see a suite that does not mean the suite is a "select standard suite". I'm sure there is more to this that what it appears at the surface.
