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
September is a great time to experience the Rockies!
A room upgrade cert would get you a Deluxe Mountain View room or a Lakeview room; I'd definitely recommend the latter.
A suite upgrade cert would get you a Jr. Suite, most likely with a Mountain View only.
But I'd contact the hotel directly to see what certs they'll allow you to use. THere have been some reports of the hotel allowing an upgrade to a Lake view Jr. Suite by stacking a room upgrade cert and a suite upgrade cert.
