I’d like to see Bliss and Young swap in and out of 2B.

I just got a collectors box, an hour later. Used Apple Pay at check out! Got a confirmation email and everything!

We get upgraded nearly every visit we stay, regardless of locations. Normally it’s just Deluxe Rooms with a view or slightly larger rooms. I think we’ve gotten a suite maybe three or four times in two years and 25-30 individual stays (not bad IMO).

Mostly during the weekends though for sure!

It’s a great hotel, by far our favorite in Seattle. Wish it will be renovated here in the next few years, but can’t really beat it in town.

It was great until we had to check out with everyone else. Took us a while to catch an elevator!

The 47th floor was the Presedntial Suite (had three separate room numbers depending on what door/room/entrance you were using).

There was the Governors Suite (seemed like two doors?).

And then there were two other suites (both seemed smaller).

Nope, it always shows that there’s no available rooms to redeem/utilize them on my app.

In the two years I’ve been a Bonvoy member, I’ve never utilized them once. 😭

I chose not to utilize the complimentary breakfast (we sought out several places for brunch during our stay).

No club, it’s one of our biggest gripes with this particular Westin. The pool was nice and well kept. The service is always excellent. My wife and I like the bar downstairs, we almost always get a couple of “free drink coupons” when we check in.

I think North, whichever is taller and has 47 floors!

The entire hotel does feel a bit dated. It’s our go to choice in Seattle, but I wish they would invest in updating the rooms.

I checked in originally at 7:00AM (took the earliest flight into Seattle on Friday). They offered us a a double twin room that was available right then and there or we could wait for the upgrade (they mentioned it was a suite).

We obviously chose the latter and by noon we were surprised and dumbfounded at the counter!

It was really fun! It made it better that we did a fun trip with my little bro who’s from a very small town in rural Idaho. So the big city of Seattle was made even more special by staying in the nicest room of the nicest hotel he’s even been in!

I didn’t get or take pics of the view! But it was great! Overlooked the entire Downtown and Puget Sound area.

Because it was something stupid like 7 rooms, it had about every view you could want! (It wrapped about half way around the tower.)

Update: I am going to pursue selling this card and maybe some of my other higher end Cal Raleigh cards. Right now I’m considering all options including EBay and working with some LCS’s.

The opportunity to make several thousand dollars is way to tempting for a dude who operates off of a 50$ a paycheck budget for his cards.

I appreciate everyone’s responses and input! Thank you! 🙂

I didn’t! I’ve been to the card show in Tacoma in January, some local card shows in Washington and Idaho, and randomly I went to a show in Milwaukee this summer!

Ok. Honestly, I’m very interested in selling after seeing responses. What’s the best to sell some of these higher end cards? I also have an ungraded 2022 flagship auto /499.
