Does this violoate their policy of giving golds and plats the best available room "at check in"? Should a plat be penalized because their flight came in late?" I, fo one, was very happy when we arrived at Wailea at 11 pm and our ocean/serenity pool view room was waiting for us, but I am sure some golds checked in before us and didn't get it.
