In the middle of a two night stay at the CP Detroit Pontchartrain on PB. Received suite upgrade and vouchers for full breakfast at the hotel's Jefferson House restaurant as Platinum ^
The staff here is extremely friendly and breakfast was tasty. The hotel was recently renovated before opening under the CP flag back in June - the exec floor is still being renovated but they said that Golds and Platinums would have full access when it opened. Overall a solid stay!

The price has gone up. 20K will cost $140 now, and you need 5,000 points to start the process.

I'm generally of the opinion that 10-14 days is a good max for a hotel stay before moving on, but if another new indigo / rehabbed crowne plaza comes up in the next pointbreaks list I'll be tempted to consider a 3-4 week stay...
Any thoughts on how long is too long to stay at a hotel on a pointbreaks rate? On a rewards or heavily discounted rate in general?

Tried to book HI Brussels airport, but it only shows regular award rates at 30k, despite being on the PB list. I have not seen such thing before, just the other way around - hotel dropped from the list, but PB rates are still avaialable for some time.
Mods- are we going to have a new thread for 2014?

One of these hotels is actually ideal for an upcoming wedding I'm attending. If I'm considering doing a "pointsbreak block" any suggestions for ensuring everything goes smoothly?
For example is there any reason for me to not just book a block of rooms myself if they're available vs. individual bookings? I really want to jump on this deal, but want to ensure there aren't any related headaches for other guests.
