Total cost of the upgrade was only $269/night additional. I was under the assumption that these rooms were ~$4,000/night. With the increase, it could have been mine for ~$1,050/night.
I politely declined the $2,700+ upgrade since I already had a nice room to begin with.
A few years back, while on an award stay and also a Diamond that year, we got one of these. No extra charge. VERY nice digs. Would not have sprung for $270 a night extra however. For $3,000 you should be able to rent an ocean side house with swimming pool, for 10 days, on the Big Island. Got to keep things like this in perspective.
