I stayed in that room Bruce! It was the first time I paid for the exec level/2nd time I stayed at the hotel. They told me it was a smoking room but allowed me to check it out (didn't smell smoke so I stayed in it).

I guess my big concern about switching the reservation is that the hotel is full cuz of the convention, and I'm afraid I'll get stuck w/ a small room. On the threads I read some have said they got the upgrade; others said they didn't.
