IC San Francisco recomendations
I have a booking for next weekend, I have 1 King IC Club, should I book 1 Jr. Suite in order to get better upgrade than from the 1 Kung IC Club? Any suggestions? Should I book 1 Jr. Suite to be upgraded to a full Suite? Actually Jr Suite price is cheaper that 1 King IC Club.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I would imagine that they are still going through the soft opening process.Also the weekend rates in San Francisco have always been very competitive due to abundance of quality hotels.

1. PC RA
2. An existing reservation at the new SF IC
3. Don't live in CA - and have never stayed in a CA IC
Got it today and, like others, thought it was junk mail -- except I'd read about it here!

I did receive a similar card when the IC Boston opened, and I have stayed at the Mark Hopkins, and I don't live in California...

So far, so good...
After getting the postcard offering club access, I switched from a King IC Club to a King Exec ($30ish less per night) and sent an e-mail to the hotel asking about early check-in and their RA upgrade possibilities. Got a quick response:
Good evening, Mr. King
First of all we wanted to thank you for choosing our property. We are more than happy to arrange a room if your designated room is not available upon your arrival. Also we have upgraded you to a suite with club access. Please let us know if you need any transportation assistance from the air port. We are looking forward to host you in April.

Sure enough my reservation now shows a Jr Suite. Maybe a little sweet talking at check-in will get a King Suite instead!
