Why did I think this hotel was all non smoking? I just looked and my reservation is for a smoking room and I asked for a non smoking room.
I guess I should call the PConcierge?

From the hotel's web site:

As per French law, smoking is not allowed in any public areas of the hotel including the lobby, restaurants, bars and meeting rooms. Smoking rooms are available upon request.

Well, apparently they keep the twin bedded rooms for the smoking.
Since I am traveling with a friend, we'll hope the King bedded room is really two twins mushed together. I'm not sure I want to deal with a smoking room for three days.
From what the PLT concierge could surmise, you can't even get a rollaway for the rooms at the Westin.
How does that work? People travel with their kids all the time.

There are public phones outside the restrooms which are located between the two eating joints. To use our calling cards, we had to use the non-payphone phones that are on the little table against the wall.

Westin Paris
Hi! Im going to be staying at the Westin Paris hotel in Novermber and am looking to extend my stay for a couple of more days. The hotel is quoting me a very high price and was wondering if anyone has any ideas or knows of any specials or promo codes that would help bring this price down some. I am looking to extend for a Sunday and Monday night. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you have a AAA / CAA / AA card, then click on that option and see what comes up. I've used that rate before, and it was much lower.
Also, See if "CASH ($150) + POINTS" rate is better for you. If you don't have the required points, then you can buy them directly from SPG. Sometimes, this combo rate comes out to be better than the regular rate offered by super-expensive luxury hotels.

Is this a good room?
I booked 3 nights w/C+P and requested a King bed, non-smoking room. I am Starwood Gold. My rez reads exactly as follows, "1 King, Spacious Room, High Speed Internet for a Fee, Superior Non-smoking, Heavenly Bed, Marble Bathroom, Superior Couture Room, 18-25 sq Mtr, Parisian Atmosphere, In Harmony with the Personal Westin Philosophy." Does anyone have a good feel for what type of where this room is likely to be? Also, does the word "Superior" mean that I've been upgraded from a Standard room due to my Gold status? Or is this just the luck of the draw and I may be able to expect a further upgrade upon arrival?

We chose this hotel mainly for the location. No real complaints, other than that every extra was ridiculously expensive - wifi, restaurant, etc.
