I currently have the Westin Bayshore booked at a base cost of $185.87/night, and have already talked to the hotel and they agreed to guarantee my upgrade to a Deluxe Harbour View Room in the tower for an additional $45/night, so $230.87.

I am also waiting for the BRG team to review and accept a claim for the same days at the Westin Grand, at a rate of $158.62/night. Once accepted, I will see what upgrade offers they will be willing to offer me. My target price is around $225/night, so I guess I will have to wait and see what the Westin Grand offers me regarding upgrades that will leave me in that price range.

But as the situation is now, what property would you all recommend? I will post again in a few days once the claim is handled, and I see what the hotel is willing to offer, although going on current prices, I'm assuming that a Deluxe Corner Suite would be around the same price as the Deluxe Harbour View Room. Which would you personally recommend?
I always stay at the Westin Grand. It is more centrally located to almost everything you need. Further The room upgrade at the bayshore is not worth paying. I have stayed in that room and although the view is nice, this time of year you may not see much.
