Going to stay at a Starwood property in Germany and from what I have heard in the past they are not always the most well versed folks when it comes to the SPG program and it's tier level benefits.

My rate is a corporate chainwide discount one (no negotieated rate at that property) and does not have internet included, but as a Corporate Preferred (if really similar to Gold - without 3 points earning etc.) would I be able to chose this as a welcome gift or that welcome gift does not apply either? Just want to be prepared and buy that 3.5-4G SIM card if internet is not free as that is cheaper than paying the overpriced hotel charges.
