As you know, suites aren't guaranteed & supposedly it's the sleep that's the most important component.
FWIW - I think room type (ie, king, double) is one of those things you get $$ from Marriott if it's guaranteed in your reservation/your Marriott # is included & they don't give you the room reserved. If you're still at the property you might want to collect on the $$, although if Glenda took care of you you might want to take a pass.
Also, if the NYC property was more than 1-night stay I would have told them to switch me to a king the next night if it was showing availability.
FWIW - in future, when at the front desk, point blank say to them I prefer a room AWAY from the elevator. Also check your profile w/ Marriott to make sure it says away from elevator.
Cheers.
It's funny that you ask that because she had originally tried to put me in an upgrade but it was right next to the elevator again. Instead she moved me down to the end in a regular king room. I thanked her for her efforts to upgrade me and then she mentioned that she might have a suite that is far away and will move me if it opened up and to just check in later in the day. So to answer your question: yes, I would have been completely happy with the regular king far away from the elevator.
Agree with your comment regarding mentioning to the front desk about being away from the elevator, but if you reread the opening post, they had no more king rooms by the time I checked in. In the end, you get stuck with what's left when your flight doesn't get you in until after midnight.
