Comments: This will probably end up being the best upgrade I ever receive. My wife and I were celebrating a special occasion in Paris and this was an amazing, unexpected treat. The room was roughly the size of the Jr. Suite but had huge bathroom and three small balconies with incredible views of Paris. Without a doubt, the best hotel stay I've ever had.

Comments: Upon check-in, I just asked the FD agent if they had any suites available, given that I was checking in late in the afternoon, would be spending one night, and not needing a 4PM late check-out. He smiled and said "sure".
