I've had many visits to Munich but this is my first stay at a Starwood hotel there; always found the bavarian approach to hotel keeping to be very hospitable. Surprised that the room rates are so low, but I suppose it is a huge hotel and business travel gets slow in December.
I would personally chance booking the 104 Euro room and getting a Plat upgrade. Every different rate plan I check has rooms for about 104 - 120 Euro! Never seen it this good at the Grand. Must be empty when you're traveling.
Be sure to have a beer at the Ducktail bar downstairs... ^
