At the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina

We arrived here via Uber just after noon and. discover our room is ready for us.

We already knew we’d been upgraded to a corner room on the top floor, but it was still a treat to see it and the 180-degree wraparound balcony.

Not bad for a points stay! Between our $30 daily Diamond credit and a $20 resort fee credit (even though points stays are exempt from the $30 daily resort fee), we have enough to  offset the cost of lunch at the pool restaurant.

So far so good.
