Honestly, I wasn't in utter shock by the walk (I
was surprised [there being no clear indication of a walk being probable, such as a stratospheric price...the award space bit seemed to be an odd artifact of a hotel getting cheeky with award space, but both King and Double Queen rooms were available] and annoyed, of course, but I think annoyance is a reasonable reaction given the net loss of elite benefits). I
was shocked by the hotel still having space live on the website following the walk (since that removed the possibility of an inventory hiccup from my mind).
