You have obviously been duped by the agent whom you've spoken to. I'd take that up as a case - not the absurdity of the NY Eve dinner.
There's no need to be sarcastic, condescending and act almighty.

Why should the hotel break out his package for someone just because he doesn't llike the terms? I might think that Mercedes charges too much for its tires. Should the dealer remove the tires for this reason, and sell me a vehicle with no tires? Some might want him to, but IT'S UP TO HIM.
If Mercedes wants you to buy the car, they'll give you a discount on the tires.
It's a busy period, but Thailand hasn't had the best travel year and with a 2-day cancellation window, Starwood might want to ensure they sell a room, as well.
