After much frustration and whining , I finally managed to score a Fairmont MV room at CLL where I can apply for FN cert. I had the choice of second week of June or mid-Sep, and decided on the latter. I thought perhaps the former might be a gamble if ice on lake hasnt melted yet? Hope I made the right decision. Not sure if mid-Sep will allow me to see the changing colors of larch trees

Anyway, the CSR told me I can apply "suite upgrade" or "room upgrade" cert. Which one is a better deal? I dont see it as a 'waste' to use the certs, since I am not sure when would be the next time I stay in Fairmont hotel --- plus they will be taken over by Accor and things might change soon

Thank you in advance for any advice
