In less than 24 hours since switching the St. Regis has already emailed me about my stay asking for info and providing details on all they have to offer. Going with the sure bet and a more luxurious vibe made it a win win. Good luck!
Also thinking about switching to St. Regis as the W is not really providing transparency on the renovation process. Still a little bit unsure as I like the W vibe a lot and I read some reviews that in St. Regis there are more families with kids, whereas the W is more couple oriented.
