Due to the Sheraton's departure there are less SPG rooms available on the beach and I would sadly assume that they will try and get away with a higher category redemption if possible after the reno. Just my thoughts!
My thoughts exactly, but I said this earlier. SPG/Starwood does not have any lower end properties on the beach like Marriott and Hilton. So the Westin and Will undoubtedly go up in price and points.
