I spent last night at the Le Meridien Philadelphia. It was more like a W than I was expecting, although the room is larger. This is the first time I have posted pictures which has sucked all the life out of me that I don't have the energy to write a review except to say the employees were very attentive and helpful, almost. Valet takes a while and although my car was waiting for me in about 10 minutes the car hiker had took another 10 minutes to show up with my keys.
Great pix! Actually, I had that same room - they upgraded us to the city view for Valentine's Day - that was really nice of them! Great staff!!!!

Honestly, I was reporting my own observations. Honestly, did you see me actually complaining that I wasn't treated well enough or anything? Or honestly, did you feel like being argumentative for the sake of being so?
And I did not honestly know that one is not permitted to report on observations just because some others feel they already knew. Honestly, have a good life.

Or that the size of the rooms was small.
I asked for more to have a better understanding of your post. If you find that "argumentative" then oh well.

I read earlier in this thread that 'Executive Rooms' are the basic, run-of-house rooms at this property. I have the option of either an Executive or Deluxe room for an upcoming stay, and both are available at the same price. I'm guessing I should go for the Deluxe, but would appreciate any advice. I'm spg Gold, if that has any bearing. Thanks in advance.

Same question about room types
Booking a room here and with my corporate SET code, there are 3 types of rooms that I can book, all with the same rate: Executive, Classic, and Deluxe. Can anyone shed any light on the differences and which is the best?

Superior Suite - 2 double beds
Classic Suite - 1 king bed
Family Suite - 1 king bed and 2 double beds
When I do not use my SET rate, I'm unable to access any suites for reservations.
There is a picture of a suite on the property's website under Guest Rooms (picture #4)

I've just gotten into the Starwood brand (did the plat challenge last month) and really like what I am seeing. I've been a Marriott/Hilton traveler, but think next year I will do just Starwood/Hyatt.
Anyway, I am booking my first reward booking and it is at this hotel on New Years Eve. They want 10k starpoints for the reservation. Is that a reasonable amount given the date I am staying, or am I severely overpaying pointswise?
Thanks for any input.
