Staying at the Waldorf in London and the TPA airport Hilton next month so hopefully?
That's a shame. Of course, you may have been upgraded without knowing it. For instance, at the local Hampton Inn with outside corridors, an upgrade would be a room that doesn't face the interstate.

Maybe it's your timing. Maybe you're staying too long. Try moving around a little and staying just one night. My success rate is very high on 1 night stays, and it sux on the 5-nighters.
