Your profile doesn't say if you're a Plat or not Corky so that will obviously be a key influencer for an upgrade.
Not stayed at the W yet so can't comment but if you do bag a suite, it's a better upgrade than at the Park Tower for example and at a cheaper cash/points rate.
Wow--such conflicting reports! Sadly I no longer have any status with SPG but I did tell them that it was my birthday (which it is) & my niece's first trip to London so maybe they will take pity on us & give an upgrade. I just want acceptable--not expecting Westin level accomodations.
