My female boss had an incident where she got to her Marriott Couurtyard room all exhausted, lied on the bed then a Chinese businessman got assigned to the room and came in. I told her she as the Arrival Gift for the Chinese MR program
I had a case where I put my stuff in my room at this LAS hotel. When I came back, I could not open my door. Security came and opened the door and my stuff was gone. Someone else checked in. That lead to an upgraded suite - one of those with mirrors on the ceiling
I am going to NYC later in the year and am debating whether to stay here or the Element - both are 12,000 points a night. I don't like the Sheraton's bathroom - too small. The Element's room does not feel as crammed. This Sheraton also does not do Green Choice.
