The rate is excellent, but am I taking a big risk by booking a room so soon after the opening date? (such as: ongoing construction noise, kitchen not open yet, delay in opening meaning the hotel's not actually open when we show up, etc.)
It certainly could be me, but can you tell me what the points cost of your stay there is going to be? I looked to see what the website would charge me for a night there and all that shows up for me is a std award for 35k/night.
