Anyone stay at the Westin Vendome in Paris recently? Got a good rate for New Years but the reviews are a bit concerning

Just checked into a Westin and the front desk gave me a hell of a time because I didn’t have my business card or “corporate ID” to verify the corporate rate. I haven’t traveled with business cards in years. Firm doesn’t have an office in my city so no corp ID - and from colleagues, I know that the badge doesn’t include the firm name. Da fuq? Is this a new thing? I’m ambassador, fwiw.

Anyone have experience with Marriott’s new “dynamic” redemption rates? Did you feel you were using more points than if it was in the old system (i.e. category based, on/off-peak)? I don’t understand how a Fairfield/Springhill has the same redemption as a Westin/Sheraton in NYC… WT flying F

Question? I just stayed at Westin Georgetown. Used self parking, paid 48$. I got home and got a bill for 56$ for each night of parking: i called the Westin Georgetown 4 times but each time i end up in a foreign country and get hung up on. Any thoughts how to get money back or get a hold of actual hotel? The phone number leads to a series of handoffs. Thank you.

London hotel help. Trying to decide between the Millennium Glouster St in Kensington vs. the Westin London city which is close by the Millennium walking bridge. Both are close to tube stations so it’s more about where to call home base for 4 days. Our activities are across the city so I don’t see one being better than the other. Curious if those who have done the tourist thing in London with kids have opinions. Thanks.

🐠 🐟 Share your amazing hotel stories . I miss business travel … last time I met a client face to face was in Feb 2020. My most amazing hotel stay was in Toronto June 2018… checked into a Westin hotel and I was upgraded to a presidential suite ! I couldn’t believe it until I went to my room .

Vegas 🐠 - I am planning a two night vegas trip in March where I plan to use points. I was originally just planning to book the Cosmo (most expensive option) but in terms of $/night and cost of points the Westin provides the best value by a considerable bit. Is the cosmo worth it? Or should I book the Westin.. we’re talking $100 more a night if I were using cash but points are twice as much at Cosmo.
