This coupled with the no more same-day cancellation policy may move some Gold/Diamond members to Starwood and their SPG program.

Many, but not all, Starwood properties continue to offer same-day cancellation.

All Starwood properties offer the highest speed internet complimentary to their Platinum (highest level) members and Gold members may select it as one of their amenities in lieu of points.
