Let's talk about beg for a second. The Bible says ask and it shall be given. In all my trips, I have asked for and gotten an upgrade or the best room or view in the category that I booked.
Upgrade - We booked the Grand Hyatt Regency in Kauai for free ($595 per night). At check in I explained this is a vacation of a lifetime (they all are) so I would much appreciate a courtesy (free) upgrade if one is available. I got upgraded to direct pool and acess to the spa room ($650 per night). We spent 4 nights using the 2 free nights each given on the Hyatt card after one purcahse. I bought a pack of gum at the .99 store.
Best room - I booked the Times Square Sheraton (Starwood card) and asked for a complimentary upgrade because this was the trip of a lifetime (mi a pus wid many lives). They can only offer certain rooms booked on points but they moved me to a room with a nice view of Times Square. ($345 per night) .
I have never gotten a room with a bad view, because I sometimes add I want the view that reminds me of their beauty. Yes, I am Jamaican and can blow smoke though not from weed. I don't travel for a living just for FUN.
