I would call to book award room and clarify you have 2 adults, plus 2 kids and see what the response is.

1. I just booked a room with an SPG agent over the phone. I booked on points. It's a slightly upgraded executive room, but not a suite. I told the agent that it would be 2 adults, a 2 year old, and a newborn. I told him that I wanted to make sure that was ok. He assured me that would be fine, and that he would make notes on the reservation about the number of occupants and that we would need a crib. Has anyone successfully stayed in a room on points with 4 occupants? If I need a rollaway, I know there is a charge for that, and would pay for that. However, I don't want to be turned away because 4 people aren't allowed in one room. I'm going to email the property, but just wanted to see what others had experienced.

Yes, it was a Cityside Room. Room 2106, which is at the end so similar to a Jr. Suite sized room. They have electric blackout blinds behind the shutters.

Renovations on Floors 21 and 20 are complete which includes the Club Lounge. They opened them up last week. New furniture and fixtures throughout. Very modern feel and much need refresh of the carpet. Keep in mind that only 2 Executive Suites have been renovated which are on the 20th floor. Floor 21 doesn't have any Executive Suites. They are selling these newly renovated rooms as "Grand" rooms when you are booking.

Here are some photos of a corner room on Floor 21 and the Club Lounge:

I'm traveling to Sydney in the next little while and am trying to decide on the Hyatt Regency or Sheraton. I have SPG Gold status through Marriott and Hyatt Globalist light (light -- from the credit card promo on now). I've never been to either hotel, and was curious if the most experienced folks over here have any thoughts on which place would be preferable, and what the pros and cons are.

Also a technical question: will the SPG Amex business card get me lounge access at the Sheraton?

Thanks in advance!

Apparently they are starting gym renovations tomorrow. They told me that one would have to go two blocks to the Westin then and use the gym there. Pool appears to remain unaffected of this.
