A Junior Suite upgrade that unlocked the spa
- Breakfast
- $100 credit
- Upgraded

Their take: Money well spent in their view, and better than paying the direct rate: a Junior Suite upgrade that opened up the spa circuit, an early check-in in time for the big breakfast buffet, and Hyatt credit for the nights.
