[signoff icon="thumbs-up"]Dates: April 2014 - 2 Night Stay to 0, 1900 -- night stay Room Booked: Deluxe King (appx value: $752) Room Received: Eiffel Tower View Room (appx value: $819) Appx Value of Upgrade: $67 Award Stay?: Yes, Cash & Points Used Best Rate Guarantee?: No Suite Night Award Requested?: Yes Comments: Used the last of last year's SNAs it appeared to clear before expiration so I used it after April 1 (hmmm). Got the lowest level suite that I had applied for via SNA, a normal sized room with a view of the tower that is indeed quite lovely. Plat breakfast buffet is fine but the room is a bit dark and they sort of hurry you through (snatching up empty glasses from under your nose). Eiffel Tower Suite (the small one).

[signoff icon="thumbs-up"]Dates: Apr 23 to 1, 2014 -- 8 night stay Room Booked: Superior (appx value: $545) Room Received: Superior (appx value: $545) Appx Value of Upgrade: $ Award Stay?: Yes Used Best Rate Guarantee?: No Suite Night Award Requested?: Yes Comments: View was of the courtyard looking at other rooms...horrible! We went for our 5 year anniversary and was expecting at least a view of the eiffel tower from a standard room. Other than not being upgraded, the stay was awesome. The Westin Vendome is the perfect location for sightseeing. We also we offered complimentary buffet every morning which was delicious! Crapes just taste so much better in France. I'm a SPG75 member and rarely get upgraded... I book most of my hotels from the SPG app. My buddy always gets upgraded and he uses the platinum phone number...that really doesn't make any sense to me but has anyone noticed if you use the platinum line they would get more pull getting an upgrade?? Just curious. Thanks!

[signoff icon="thumbs-up"]Dates: Apr 04 to 7, 2014 -- 3 night stay Room Booked: Superior Room (appx value: $531) Room Received: Royal Suite (appx value: $1001) Appx Value of Upgrade: $470 Award Stay?: Yes Used Best Rate Guarantee?: No Suite Night Award Requested?: No Comments: 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.
