I have currently booked 4+1 nights at 21.5k per night at the seasonal low rate (good value vs. the Westin for sure). The agent had to call the hotel as she could book the first 4 nights but had no availability for the 5th, which she was able to get the hotel to open up while I waited on the phone .
How did you get the 4+1 with the room redemption not being a standard room? I was told in the past it must be a standard room for that benefit!

On the negative:
- upon checking the check-in desk people did not want to give me access to the Lounge floor despite my Gold status with Starwood. In most hotel around the world, my gold status gets me access to the lounge floor. the attendant at the check-in refused to get me access. And she did not do it in a nice way...
He was traveling on business as well, wonder what was he complaining about since he's not paying for it lol...
I read that, wish you could comment on TA! He said and I quote "- upon checking the check-in desk people did not want to give me access to the Lounge floor despite my Gold status with Starwood.

What hotels is he staying at?? Also I bet the hostess would have been fabulous if she granted club level!
