Sheraton Waikiki upgrade success-Platinum

Just checked into the Sheraton Waikiki for 9 nights.

I booked the absolute cheapest city view 2 doubles room hoping to get an upgrade at least to a partial ocean view room, though I wasn’t really expecting much since it’s for 9 nights and I was arriving six hours before check-in.

After asking if it was possible to have some kind of ocean view room, I was pleasantly surprised to be given the diamond head view on a high floor! Not a suite, but this is the absolute best I was hoping for and got it. Looking at the app, it’s almost double what I paid for my city view room.

Add to the upgrade, six hour early check in, continental breakfast for two every morning, a gift bag at the gift shop, and then a choice of 1000 points or a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and I am well satisfied!
