For the first time this weekend I had the opportunity to tell the difference between Diamond levels.

A friend of mine who is a new Diamond comp checked in just before me and his room was ready... mine wasn't because I was upgraded to a suite. We were on the same rate and reservations were booked the same day.

The only difference was my YTD stays (in the 30's to his single digits) and the fact that I'd stayed at the property on a few single night stays over the year. I also have a room booked there this weekend.

I was once upgraded to the Lindbergh suite on my corp rate at the Hyatt MCO. That's a room.
