NiVRaM, I would be very interested in any recent trip reports, etc after your stay. I too did my research and have even tried to reach out to the Andaz GM here (who has yet to reply). I am on a 3 day paid stay in 3 weeks and using Diamond certificate. I called the concierge line and tried to pay + cert + points to guarantee one of the larger suites. I just hate having to negotiate an upgrade as I have had to in the past at times. I'm abit apprehensive of what to look forward to with this hotel ...
