It was such a great surprise. This is the reason that I love the Starwood Preferred Guest program and why I continue to be so loyal to Starwood. \u00a0It&#8217;s such a great surprise when a hotel goes out of the way to make you feel extra special and since I really never expect it, it really is a surprise and treat!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5794\" alt=\"W-drink\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/12\/W-drink-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-drink-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-drink-255x341.jpg 255w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-drink.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was upgraded to a studio suite and shortly after I arrived in my room, there was a knock at the door. The hotel had sent up complimentary sparkling water. \u00a0Already in the room was a plate of pumpkin flavored brownies and a Happy Thanksgiving note from the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The room had a king-size bed, a work desk, an L-shaped couch and entertainment center. \u00a0The W bed is one of my favorite beds, I always sleep great. \u00a0The bathroom was very large and had a shower, double sinks, and separate room with the toilet. \u00a0Unlike the W Midtown Atlanta, the bathroom is not see-through from the bedroom. The bathroom was filled with Bliss Spa amenities and in fact, had more Bliss amenities than \u00a0any other W I&#8217;ve ever been to. \u00a0In addition to the soaps, lotion, body wash and shampoos, they provided Bliss Fabulous Face Wash, Loofah sponge, Eye Makeup remover towelette, a dental kit, a shaving kit and sewing kit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5795\" alt=\"W-Room\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/12\/W-Room-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-Room-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-Room-255x341.jpg 255w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-Room.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5796\" alt=\"W-livingroom\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/12\/W-livingroom-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-livingroom-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-livingroom-255x341.jpg 255w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/12\/W-livingroom.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The hotel offers valet parking for $30\/night which is very steep for Atlanta.
