Very impressed with this hotel.
Nice!
And that wonderful suite upgrade costs the hotel almost nothing as it already was going unused otherwise. Perhaps a bit more housekeeping time, but otherwise not much.
And that suite upgrade costs Marriott corporate nothing, as well.
So much for the supposedly huge or increasing costs of the Ambassador program’s most valuable benefit.
