From the cheapest "garden view", bypassing "pool view", "partial ocean view"... the only room better than that is suite.
I am so happy! Not only for the view, but the room is nicer. And it is free!
DH was working on it - the important thing is to locate contact info of the right person to ask. And holding elite status with the hotel definitely matters(though not always, especially at popular resort destinations where people go for pleasure and not business). And we booked our room directly from hotel's website (it was still the cheapest rate). I have read posts on trip advisor about so many people who were denied upgrades that I was not very optimistic. But yey!
We are leaving on Sunday, and we have not packed anything yet... and our apartment looks like it got hit by a tornado. And we have dinner plans tonight and tomorrow night. Ah, busy NYC life - there is never time to clean one's tiny apartment.
Got approved to upgrade to the "ocean view" room!
