Now he reports his experience here, fairly and neutrally IMO (and I have an ultra sensitive whine monitor), and the regulars are piling on with attitude, criticism, and insults.
This forum is becoming a very nasty place.
My criticism rests with the fact that if you don't complain about the poor treatment and perhaps noncompliance by at least asking for a manager then you really don't have a leg to stand on to come on here and complain, even in a passive manner.
The original poster emphasized that he placed a value on having a room on a high floor. I don't consider a standard room on a high floor an upgrade. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect as a platinum you would get a room on a floor above the first, if you asked for one.
