Just saying, I had no trouble booking 3000 weekends for Feb dates. Admittedly these reservations were booked maybe a month out. As I tried to juggle things closer to my stays across multiple properties, high season occupancy caught up with me.

The view makes the room category at the Aloft.

Always received a view upgrade as Plat. No Suites per policy.

I was happy and had zero reason to complain about this property.

I did find standard award availability better here than at the 4pts but that was prior to the category change. Haven't looked since as my bookings for Dec are all made.
