is Plat worth it, not IMO Gold will get me what I want/need.

That being said, if you think *W or HH is any different its NOT. We have to go thru what you did ALL the time also. I think it really depends on the prop. As I have been upgraded even before I checked in at some hotels, at others even with the lot having less then a dz cars and no buses, and its not a Downtown Prop , I heard sorry we are full tonight , gee at 11;30pm with an empty lot where is everyone?!, let me guess you have 50 buses coming in at 3 am! got teh room but why should we have to go thru it.
