I'm checking out this property in a few days, just to use up my last SNA, and got upgraded to a 2-bedroom apartment from the base Wonderful Room. The room was booked using some points that Pier One compensated me for a 1* stay experience earlier in the year. The hard product 2-bedroom looks bland in the photos, and we do not need the space for a short visit. We would have preferred a Marvelous Suite - whose looks and style are much more W-appropriate - over the 2-bedder, but the said suite does not look available.
That said, the reviews from various sources do not inspire or encourage us to stay comfortable. I will not lower my expectations because of these reviews and will call it out when I am on the property.
Luckily we live close to the hotel and will walk back home if we have a terrible time. Let us see what happens shortly.
