Hotel: W fort Lauderdale
Year of incident: 2014
Status: SPG gold
Incident: hotel checked us out at 11 am even though we asked for late check-out. I was at the pool at the time, so I had to have security escort me to me room to show him my ID, as my key card stopped working. Also, someone(maid?) walked into the room while my wife was inside.
Comp: called the hotel and spoke with a manager who proactively offered to refund all my points, give me a free night certificate, or a chance to come back to the hotel "as a VIP".
Took the points
