Often opens up a day or 2 before or day of.
Basically, when someone else cancels.

Not going to lie, just checked in and I'm a little disappointed. I asked about an upgrade as a plat member and was fed the line that they are all booked for the night. I booked my room this morning and saw plenty of other available. I don't mind not getting an upgrade but I do mind being lied to. Additionally the room I got has a view of what looks like vents above ac units. The room itself is pretty nice and I will post pictures later.

Is it just the lie about no available rooms for upgrade that's disappointing or is the hard product also disappointing? Is it worth saving my sign up bonus for?

Is the Andaz Wall St that much worse than the 5th Ave Andaz? Everyone here talks about 5th, but there is barely a mention of the Wall St location.

the views are not the attraction there, unless you own one of the units that are all situated above the hotel floors.

the hotel itself is very nice. But since they basically refuse to upgrade you are stuck with the standard room which is nice but I didn't think it was that amazing. I'll upload a few more pics when I get home

Thanks,
the question is should I hold on to my sign up night hoping to find availability fur a night that's good for me or just use it at the Andaz 5th?

I am not such a huge fan of andaz. I personally feel that 48 lex is comparable with bigger room size.
Ive stayed 3 tomes at andaz 5th and never been upgraded and im a diamond.

I've stayed at both the Andaz 5 and the Lex 48 and found the rooms at the Andaz to be much larger.

Surprised you've never been upgraded as a DIA at Andaz 5...
