Asked about buying up to a suite and the agent offered a complimentary upgrade to a suite, but it wouldn't have had a sofa bed so we declined. (They asked $100 for a sofa bed suite, we passed on that too). Check in was smooth and my SPG Gold was recognized. Interestingly, I was given free breakfast vouchers (platinum amenity, I think it was a mistake). Asked for 4pm checkout, was told the latest they could do is 2. All in all, a nice property but definitely not in the top end of the LC brand. Still, definitely a step above the Westin River North. The gentleman at check in mentioned that they were beginning a major renovation next week. Common areas are beautiful, rooms are dated but spacious. I'll report back on how things go tonight and tomorrow.
