Date(s): 1 weekend night mid-May
Room booked: SuperiorKing
Room received: Overlook Suite
Elite Level: Ambassador
Award stay: Yes
Rate Type: NA
LNF stay: No
SNAs redeemed: No
Comments: Tried to redeem a SNA but was notified that it could not be honored a day before arriving and SNA was refunded. Upon arrival was upgraded to an Overlook Suite which is a grade higher than the Astor Suite I had tried to get with an SNA! Great stay and great upgrade on an award stay. As a result I am seriously reconsidering my allegiance to the Ritz SF.
