That would be annoying but I've been given rooms on the 6th floor and 7th floor. I've done well there but only when willing to wait for cleaning for a better room. Plus, I really don't know what it's like now that the US tours fill up hotels. I haven't been inspired to return since I heard that hotels are sold out in high season. Plus, I can't get points or use points for rooms! If anyone knows different please let me know. I tried to set up something with Melia Cohiba but without a credit card from another country they said I'd be out of luck.
