^ Arrived early in the AM on New Years Day. The hotel was almost fully booked, no suites available. Was given a Park view room for the night. Went up to the excellent 21st floor Executive Lounge for some free breakfast and coffee. Struck a conversation with the manager of the lounge, who suggested that in the future that I do my Platinum check-ins up there. He then told me that he would move me to a suite on the next day. His promise was fulfilled, I'm writing this from an exceptional corner suite on the 17th floor and will happily be calling this home for the next eight days. By the way, this stay is partly on points only (5 days with 1 of those "free") and partly on C+P (a total bargain at $60 + 4800 points).
