[all are with 21% taxes included)
Sheraton room: $170
or $72+4000, so 2.45cents/pt and save $98
(Sheraton room w/ 2BF: $284 ??? makes no sense)

Le Meridien room: $205
or $118+4800, so 1.8cents/pt and save $87

(or $242 w/ 2 BF, which might also make sense)

I only have Gold status, so I can't expect free BF.

I wonder though if a paid stay would get a better upgrade than a C&P stay.
