My second stay, the amenity points didn't post. Even after talking to the GM, who was pretty hard to get hold of....
As I told the GM as well, the bi-level suites are great, but the San Bruno Mountain view (facing north) would be much enhanced if the windows were washed.
One more thing, a fitness room treadmill was defective.

This property now has a parking charge of $8.95, effective January 1st, 2011. I managed to get mine reversed (only after noticing on the bill) since my stays were booked on SPG before there was any mention of the charge.

Stayed 2 nights on a Priceline stay @ $47 per night. Nice room. Good bedding and pillows. Free computer in the lobby. Front desk staff that is extra friendly. ^
Shuttle bus runs to/from the airport twice an hour.
Only fault is the shower curtain rings were tearing (asked for a replacement both mornings), and the windows were really filthy. I sent a message to the *wood folks on Twitter, who promised me they'd take care of the window situation.

If the report of them charging for guest parking is true, it's a NO GO policy for this property now. This property is not worth it.

Just checked into this hotel...kinda dated but at this price this close to the airport, it really can't be beat.
However, upon checkin, I asked about the breakfast, and was told that "this hotel does not participate in the free breakfast program."
Is this correct? Can a hotel opt out of giving my expected Platinum amenity?
If so =

(at the property or part of the Platinum benefit package) (some properties do offer it, though)the FD was probably making things up...

All of the above are better options than the 3 points SFO.
It's not even good enough for that 4th point, so I call it the 3 points SFO, if I'm feeling charitable, otherwise, the 2 pts SFO.

email address (Concierge) needed
I will have several stays at the Four Points in July and need to get in touch with the Concierge before my arrival.
Can anybody provide the email address of the Concierge or the hotel?

If your stay is more than one night, check out the Westin south of the airport. It's worth the extra $s/points.

How is this being enforced? Did they put a gate/booth up?

No. It seems to change every month. They went from just asking you if you had a car, to asking for your license plate #, to now (as of this month) giving you a slip of paper to put on your dashboard with the dates of your stay.
The paper is pretty easy to photocopy if you were so inclined, and they don't actually tow anyone yet, but who knows. I'd be pretty livid if I paid for parking and got towed because I forgot to put the slip of paper on my dash or it blew off.
The way the property is set up you can't really gate easily since the parking spots are spread out.

Thanks a lot for the info. So I have to try to get in touch with the front desk.
I read the thread before making my reservations and I can assure you that I'm already afraid about what's happening in the hotek, but on the other hand I had to consider that my stays are only very short overnight stays. Usually I would prefer a W / a Westin, but with only a few hours at the hotel each time I hope it's o.k.
