This has nothing to do with FWN awards specifically. It's true of all award and paid stays at the Westin Westminster.

"Technology Bundle Charge
As of January 1, 2010, a daily Technology Bundle Charge of USD $12.00 per night, will be posted to each guestroom for a variety of amenities and services. This fee includes 2 bottled waters, WiFi, valet parking and local phone calls on a daily basis."

You really need to blame the Westin Westminster hotel more than SPG. Complaints can be sent to their address on their Contact Us page: [email protected]
