1. I didn't get upgraded, which is really not that big of a deal in it's self. However, all three of us were downgraded. All three booked King rooms, and we were all three put in double rooms. There were no King bed's available.

2. One of the rooms smells like an ash tray. But since the hotel is sold out this week they can't move the colleague to a room that has not been smoked in.

3. The valet took more than 30 minutes to bring my car out this morning. The parking garage is under the hotel.

As the above poster mentioned, the lounge is awesome both in the morning, and especially at night. The staff is awesome. The treatment of platinums just isn't what it should be.

I'm confused. Your first sentence and second sentence don't make since. I take it you've already had this stay or you had a previous stay and are returnig to the property?
  1. In regard to the room types, you should get the bedding type you book. You need to call CCS immediately.
  2. The property is 100% smoke free. Why/How would you be put in a smoking room? If the room smelled, could it have been mold? I would have demanded to be moved or walked. You need to call CCS immediately.
  3. Did you ask why? And why is this related to Platinum's instead of just poor staffing?

I'm trying to understand your post....so, if the property is sold out and there are no so to speak upgrades, how is there Platinum treatment "not what it should be"?
