I am planning a family vacation for the end of August.
We booked 2 standard rooms at the AAA rate of $159.20.
I really want water/pool view, which is $179.20.
However, I am Loews Gold and DH is Loews Blue.
One room is booked under my name the other is under DH's (same reservation #).
For Gold, it states that you can automatically upgrade to the next level at the time of reservation.
However, I was told that I could only upgrade 1 room with the Gold, not both; and with the Blue I have to wait until getting to the hotel to see if they can upgrade.
We are traveling with family and want connecting rooms. Since it doesn't make sense to upgrade 1 room automatically and wait until getting to the hotel to upgrade the other, the reservationists recommended not to go with the automatic upgrade with the Gold but to wait until we get to the hotel and then ask for the upgrade on both rooms since I am Gold and DH is Blue.
I could go for the automatic upgrade on 1 room (159.20) now but I would have to pay $20 more for the other room (179.20), making the difference $140 in total.
So is it a smart move to wait until getting to the hotel in hopes they will upgrade us since we are Gold and Blue.
Or should we just pay the $140 extra and be assured of getting the view we want.
(I hope this all was clear)
Thanks.
