Just got back from a trip to Florence and Tuscany. Stayed at the Excelsior, on a C&P rate. $150 + 8000 points per night. Reserved that a few weeks ago, and stayed this past Friday and Saturday night. They showed us to our room, and sure enough, it was the exact room FrAAmer had, shown above, room 208. Great room. My wife was ecstatic, and I could not get her off of the balcony, looking up and down the Arno, seeing the Ponte Vecchio.

Great job SPG and Excelsior! Thanks.
