Improvements/Peeves

The Westin Verasa Napa is a cat 4 hotel, according to SPG.com, so it should be 10,000 Starpoints per night. Suites would be more, but I'm not sure if the 10,000 point standard upgrade would apply here or what that would get you.

Just booked 2 nights for a weekend in mid-Oct at 10K SPs per nite. Napa in October is beautiful (even more beautiful...) that time of year.

The peeve would be the the SPG website continues to freeze up while using it. You would think that the search and hotel info program wouldn't freeze-up like it was 1999...

The good thing is that on two tries it wouldn't book me for the weekend I wanted, but went in another way and it would allow me to book.

In looking at it further - it is accepting SPs, but not cash? weird.

follow-up: Went through link from our confirmation email - and internet rates are $400 per nite for this weekend - that is 4 cents per SP - not bad...
looks like a great place for being in downtown Napa.

40 cents per Starpoint would be off-the-charts-good. 10000 SP at 40 cents each would equal $4000, though. 10000 SP for a $400 room = 4 cents per SP (10,000 x .04).. Still, not a bad deal but nothing approaching 40 cents each.

That's 4 cents a *point. But 40 cents sounds good also.
