OP, I'm guessing you've gotten the message by now, but just in case: No!
No compensation for you.

Ooooooh - whoever starts a "compensation" thread better be ready to be flamed at 
! That said, if the OP had an option to change rooms but for whatever reason chose not to, then I agree no compensation is due.

Last night while I was sleeping, the lights and drapes went crazy in my room. Lights came on at least 6-7 times on its own and the drapes automatically moved twice... Was badly disturbing my sleep (and I was not having enough as it was)
It would have been impractical to move rooms in the dead of the night or do anything about it since I wanted to sleep.. Any compensation in this case?

Most likely if you talk to the manager or try sending an email to the platinum desk.

I have only once ever complained about the speed of an elevator and that was at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. They pride themselves on some cutting edge computer system that drives the way the elevators work. I waited up to ten minutes in the morning trying to head down. Worst system I have ever seen.

I feel that the color of the carpet did not matched the painting on the wall perfectly. What compensation should I ask for ?
To OP : thank for reminding me what depths the greed and sense of entitlement can reach

Only if it doesn't match the drapes.

To me, two key things are, how long was the elevator down, and did the hotel proactively demonstrate concern by posting a sign, or placing a letter / memo in each room, notifying guests of alternate options etc.
