While I loved reading your reviews, and I admit it made my mouth water, we do not have any special level with starwood except 'preferred' due to the starwood amex card. I reserved one of the cheapest rooms, city view with two beds, because my husband is not 100% ...so I am not very optimistic about an upgrade. I will certainly ask, suggest, beg or whatever it takes and hope for the best, lol. thanks loads for the info.
