I finally was connected to the Supervisor successfully from.a transfer from the third agent. Neither of the previous two tried to call me back. I let the Supervisor know she was the fourth agent I had spoken to, to attempt to rectify this, and that plus it being late Friday night probably fueled her approach towards the property.



Yes. Sorry if my OP was long but I put this in there - I asked why they wouldn't want an award because based on the NYC Le Parker Meridien details made public, higher than 95% occupancy means the hotel receives ADR for the room and not the pre-negotiated award redemption rate (which is much lower).



Not that I caught. I checked right at 6 pm. Then about hourly after that, until a little before 10 pm when I arrived in the lobby. Once they confirmed they had rooms but were "holding them back" I reached out to SPG because that just reeked of malfeasance.
OP I think the paid traditional room has to be available to book on spg.com before you and the Supervisor can beat the property up to please deliver the paid room as a points room.
