So to follow up on the previous post, the easiest way to score a cash upgrade was to call the hotel. EUR 100 per night for the Harbor View suite, including breakfast, unless I am mistaken they have no better suites.

The hotel is nice, at least the harbor section, from what we could see through the windows the tower section bedrooms are a lot less interesting. Our suite was nice but not very large, recently decorated but as previously mentioned a few annoying quirks, particularly a stupid sensor-operated mirror light in the bathroom that stays on for five minutes and lights up the entire bedroom too! Not great when you go for a bathroom break at 2 AM. It took them two days to fix it (instead of being blinded for five minutes, it was changed to only thirty seconds). In practice we had to cover the sensor on the ceiling with a paper tissue in order to prevent it from lighting the room all the time. It even turned itself on if you moved in the bed... we had to call and go to the reception four times to get this handled, noone would take responsibility for the problem.
