Before the merge, I would rather drive to stay in the Four Points outside the city core than staying in a Marriott. In my first stay in Marriot's Delta, I received possibly the best upgrades this year and definitely one of the best upgrades I ever had. They gave me a penthouse suite on the top floor. The room has two floors. The staff recognize my status with a slight error of forgetting to mention my welcome gift. I suspect this upgrade was beyond what is necessary within the program. I understand there was a "Welcome Gift Guarantee" where if staff forgot the welcome gift, I can demand $USD 100. I didn't want to discourage the upgrade they have done nor appear ungrateful and I hope they do the same to other Platinum members. So instead of asking for any compensation, I just mentioned it at the front desk during check out and emailed my ambassador to follow up on the welcome gift (ie 1000 points).
There were two bathrooms - one on each floor. This is one of them.

The view
Pretty impressive... I stay at that Delta semi-regularly, but never get anything better than a room with a view of the Inner Harbour. Could also be because I'm staying during the typical M-Th.
Back to the topic at hand though, it's a mixed bag for me. Sometimes my stay will post in 2-3 days. My last stay still hasn't posted so far, but I've also waited 7-10 days for them to post, even the before the merger. Pre-merger with legacy SPG, it was like clockwork, everything posted the day after check-out.
