Upgrades are a major major concern, property is popular with consultants, media people etc. and most of them carry a Plat card.

While checking in a couple of months, I was told that they expect around three dozen Plats checking in on a Monday during a period without a fair.

Chances on a weekend are significantly higher and Junior Suite upgrades are common.

Maybe, one of friendly SPG lurkers could shed some light on the situation, whether the corner and executive suites are still in the upgrade pool or not, upgrades to the regular suites seem to be an exception...

The minibar in the junior suites contain:

2 bottles of Coke
2 bottles of Coke light
2 bottles of water ( plus another complimentary bottle in the room )
2 bottles of beer
2 small bottles of fruit juice

BF is Euro 28, 21 if you opt for it the night before.

Property is in the process of renovating the part of the building next door, which was purchased recently. The shops on the Dom level will remain, but above the ground level, they will add some 50 rooms & suites.
