However, after some back and forth, they agreed to confirm a renovated exec suite in advance for an additional $30 per night.
I appreciate a little capitalism every now and again. Only sad you have to go all the way to Denmark to find it. 😁

Careful now. I agree with your sentiment, but… “
even Oslo?” Surely you meant “and in particular, Oslo!” 😁
The rest of this thread appears to be strong agreement that the hotel needs a facelift, and for those upgraded rooms, might still not be enough. But the distance discussion is priceless. A good assumption ought to be that 1km is about a 20 min walk. (We can all walk both slow and fast, I know.) By that I would think it reasonably close, but not close. Not sure I would have walked my carryon all that way.

Platinum gets you lounge access with breakfast in the lounge. It is not a great place for upgrades.

I guess we can debate what walkable distance is, for some people it is to the closest parking lot or taxi stand. But the national Museum is 1.0km away, parliament 1.3km, Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket 700m away. Plenty of other sights within the same distance, and the hop on hop off tour buss stops right in front of the Marriott, though I am not sure if that only runs in the summer season.
