I was so annoyed because I paid almost 500usd for the room and they put me at the Westin.

I argued. They would not adjust the lower rate. They gave me normal room at Westin. After complaining, they upgraded my room, gave me free breakfast and free parking. I felt it was fair.

Not sure if i will get a chance to stay at St. Regis again. But the place looked nice from the outside.
Did the St. Regis pay for the first night at the Westin and then given you 20K starpoints for the walk? Those are the defined pentalties for the offending hotel. The Westin is also Cat 6 and room rates are similar to the St. Regis.
