I was at the Congress last night, upgraded to an Executive room. They didn't say anything about free mini-bar, but all Plat's get a choice of treats which include snacks and drinks. I chose the fitness option which had a Gatorade type drink, two energy bars and an apple.
I didn't see any suites on the top floor (13) plan. All the exec rooms seem identical.
As noted in another thread, street parking is very easy here after 6pm. Lots of spots right in front of the hotel last night. ^

No suites at the Sheraton Congress?? They have listed business suites, superior suites and executive suites on their webpage.
I am considering staying here sometime in March. I read from the room descriptions that their executive rooms and suites have complimentary minibars. Any word on this? Is it complimentary also on upgraded rooms (per SPG Platinum upgrade)? Is it restocked every day?

I don't recall a complimentary minibar but I did get the choice of goodies the first two times I stayed there but not last time.

Staying in Frankfurt in a couple weeks time, for just over a day and looking for a property that is comfortable, and convenient in terms of transportation (mass transportation). I'll probably have a couple rooms since I'm with a group. What do you fellow SPG members recommend? I'm a Plat so a place with good upgrade records is always appreciated.

Are you looking for mass transit to get around in the city or mass transit to get from Frankfurt to other places? I stay at the LeMeridien Parkhotel all the time and it is right across the street from the Hauptbahnhof (Main train station) in Frankfurt which will get you anywhere by train. If your looking for mass transit to get around the city then I'm not sure. The LeM and the Westin are within walking distance of the main shopping area. (Westin definitely closer but LeM easily doable unless you can't walk distances.)

Parking on the street is really easy. No need to pay 26€ for the garage.

At the Westin, the Duplex suite gets 2.5oz/75ml bottles of Bulgari.
The regular suites get bottles of Bulgari half that size.
The rest of the club level (6th floor) gets regular Westin.
I've spent 5 nights this week (including this post) at the Westin with a quick trip to in between. Started in the duplex suite and finished my stay in regular suite. Interestingly, the bedding is different. Much more "heavenly" in the duplex suite.
Also, on 2 separate days house keeping failed to replace any toiletries. It turns out that the maids carts only have normal Westin stuff and the Bulgari is locked away. The housekeeping manager personally replaces the Bulgari in the suites. I thought that was a bit odd.

For the beds I also experienced that in other westin suites but I think is because less people slept in it.
For the toiletries: In Frankfurt you steal everything that is easily moveable can be made to money
The sheraton congress has 6 suites

On a recent weekend @ Sheraton Congress
had 2 rooms booked and got upgraded to 2business suites.
Welcome gift for both rooms and dink vouchers for all guests.
Nice stay... much better experience than at the Westin. And it's a quick trip by S-Bahn into center.

I stayed at the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport last month. It was just fine and it is literally connected to the airport. The food in the restaurant was ok, but not great. It was funny to be surrounded by americans.

Am debating between the Sheraton Congress and the Sheraton Offenbach for a quick stop driving from Holland to Austria. Which one is nicer?
Both are about the same price and are both along the route.
