Local Platinum Mattress Run

Completing a local 2-night Platinum Mattress Run. Taking full advantage of the "Take Two" promo.
Platinum amenities at check-in: 500 SPG pts, local amenity (which I'm told is some type of W drinkware w a local beer), or $15 breakfast credit ea for up to 2 in Manny's.

I opted for the $15 breakfast credit. Most items on the menu are around $16; so breakfast for 1 (2 egg special, coffee, and gratuity) ended up around $11.00

Parking - - they have valet; however I used the Spothero app and found a $5 overnight parking spot only a block away

W Insider left a nice Platinum amenity in my room. I'm assuming she must've had access to my former SPG Ambassador file, cause she knew some of my "favorites".

Was upgraded to a Cool Corner Room; my higher floor CCR wasn't ready, so they gave me a lower floor CCR on the 5th floor. Not really any spectacular views, but it's always nice to get a bit larger room.

And also, I enjoyed getting free access to the Observation Deck. You should really go up there and check it out - -great views! And was also interesting to note that there are only about 1/2 dozen open observation decks in the States.
