clanson, it all depends upon how the hotel credits your stay. If they credit the stay as a multiple room stay, it will count as one stay for all three rooms. If they credit the stay as three separate transactions, and this happens alot, then it will count as three separate stays. According to the Terms and Conditions, as they are interpreted by Starwood Preferred Guest, it is rightfully a single eligible stay for all three rooms, although the hotels can unintentionally make it otherwise.

If you receive credit for a single eligible stay of three nights for three rooms, the room nights will be three, not nine. If you receive three separate stays credit for one room each for three nights, then the room nights will total nine.
