The third night they got me in for a Points + Cash (6,000 points + $490) to a Suite in the hotel. It is still cheaper than a standard Deluxe King ($540) so I booked it.
The very helpful phone rep suggested I call back during hotel business hours (M-F) to see if they could open up a standard room for me.
I'm still not sure what to make of all of this!
It looks odd that the Points + Cash rate for the suite is FEWER points but more cash compared to an ordinary room.
