So, good news/so-so news.
The good news is that I was able to finally get my AP discount applied for my November stay at CSR with a Gran Destino Tower room.
The so-so news is that they ran out of the standard view rooms so I had to upgrade to a water view room, which I actually didn’t necessarily want. Unless I’d otherwise be looking at the dumpsters, a water view is not important enough for me to pay extra, especially when there aren’t any balconies.
At the end, though, I’m still saving over $30 a night over my original standard room rack rate with a supposedly better view, so it’s a net win.
