Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Fisherman's Wharf) Sheraton

[Hokie4Life]

This was part of an Air + Hotel purchase.

3*

Amenities listed: Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, High Speed Internet Access, and Business Center

Incidentally, AAA lists this as a 4 Diamond Hotel

The hotel reservation is listed as a Run of House reservation (guaranteed a room with 2 double beds). I'm really hoping to be able to get a room with a single Queen or King.

Even though I can't get Starwood points for the stay, I wonder if it's possible that they would try their best to fulfill my request if I flash my card. Any suggestions?

Play stupid (usually not hard for me to do :) ) and just hand them your Starwood card along with your credit card upon check-in. I usually ask, "Any chance of getting a King room on a high floor?" (or something similar)

As well, if the hotel has a separate check-in line for Starwood members i would use that... this way you have reason for showing your card and perhaps the desk clerk assigned to members will be a bit more experienced and know is and is not permitted.

I have usually found Starwood employees to be customer service oriented.
