I'm surprised at the above-mentioned successes with suite upgrades at the W Seattle, I understood that they only had a few suites and that this was viewed as one of the tougher upgrades to get. Glad to hear some folks are getting them! (I thought folks generally had to settle for a Kool Korner room on a high floor.)
I really like the W Seattle, and didn't find the staff there to have attitude at all.
I'll be at the Westin Seattle next weekend on a cash & points. I'm sure it's a big conference property, but I'll be happy with the bed and for $45 + 2800 points it's just a bargain!
