I'm looking to make a reservation at the PH NY for a chosson and kallah on their wedding night. A few questions:
1) It's imperative that they receive a room with two beds, but I see that the only option for a reward night is a Park King. Is that going to be a problem? Do they also have any rooms with 2 queens?
2) Is it worth spending 30,000 points on a diamond reservation instead of buying a platinum night for $250.00? Obviously for the breakfast alone it's not, but it would be worth it if it would give them a higher chance for an upgrade. But practically speaking, if a couple arrives in a tux and wedding gown, would they get an upgrade anyway?
3) Is it risky to do this on for a wedding night? Might they get suspicious that the AH isn't going to be joining the couple on their wedding night? And what are the chances of something going wrong? On a regular stay, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but on the wedding night....
4) Would they have a better chance for an upgrade at the Andaz 5th Avenue? I hear that the Splash Suite is pretty spectacular.
Thanks for the help!
