At a Sheraton hotel now, the room wasn't cleaned over Shabbos. They are offering 50% back on the room rate - $95 or Platinum Premier Elite status (at the moment I'm silver). Which offer is better?

I would say the Elite benefit is better.

Make sure you get it in writing.

I never heard of a hotel having the power to upgrade a guests elite status.

When and if they fail to do so, you'll be able to demand more then the 50% refund.

+1 I never heard this before.
Had a poor experience at an SPG hotel a few years back. Wrote a note to corporate and asked for Platinum status for a year (which they provided).  Not sure about whether on-site management can accommodate the request...

What's the email address to send in a complaint regarding a fire alarm in middle of the night in a St. Regis a couple of weeks ago?

Online will get you.... The online response time is approximately 6 months, as of last week, so good luck with that.

You email the hotel directly @ stregisrome@stregis.com

Asking never hurts, I usually don't ask untill offered and then negotiate. So the typical email would go,  Hi... I stayed in your beautiful hotel for this special occasion... we had a bad experience with a disturbance.....

Usually theyll respond offering some type of compensation, and from there negotiate further.

Thanks! I'll leave it for a week or so to see if they reply and then I will try to email the hotel directly. It's a shame I didn't copy and save my entire text because it was quite lengthy.

Had the same, fire alarm after midnight at an Intercontinental, neither the hotel or IHG offered any compensation. Response was it was an accident and outside their control.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

That's funny because I had another fire alarm incident in middle of the night at the Intercontinental Barclay NYC 2 years ago and emailed them about it and they gave me 10k points.

FYI less than 2 days later I received a response from my online inquiry. They said that they have requested to post back the points that I had asked for (60k) and that I should allow 10 business days.

Hmmm so I just saw on my account that yesterday (the same day as the email saying to allow 10 business days) 10k were posted into my account. The "type" is bonus and the description is "Xr The St. Regis Rome". Does this mean that this is all I am getting from my complaint? Should I ask for more? Would this be some sort of bonus unrelated to my complaint?
