while I haven't been Plat+ for a number of years now, but I wonder the issue with this "Best Room at Reservation" since they introduced this benefits. Reason is that I was be able to book months (10+) in advance for a number of hotels even if I only have 1% chance to actually stay at it, but I already grab the best room available. Since most "Best Room" do not booked / sold as mentioned above, I was always staying at the best room at the hotel. Hence, I wonder if it is for this reason, they have to change the rules.
