I was meaning something we could verify rather than just what you are telling us, like a date on spg.com when standard rooms are available to pay for but not to book as an award. I cannot see any post showing this.

I am not talking about the Super Bowl, or New Year's Eve, but every weekend. Book with cash, no minimum. Book with Starpoints, 3 night minimum.
Same again really where is the evidence of this, I have checked various weekends and cannot see single night revenue rates available and not available for points. Have you any actual dates you can give as examples.

125 is certainly not hundreds and in the context you used it I would say misleading as it makes it sound far more rooms are available than actually are thus makes your assertion stronger than it is. The main thing is by exaggerating it makes it harder to take the rest of the post at face value.

I think you will find the Lurkers are reporting they checked and the hotel is in compliance and no fault was found and not that this check has made them complaint.
