Starwood's giving up to 50% off prepaid bookings.
Starwood’s Hotels did a good thing by lowering prices at some 600 of 1000 properties by 50%. But be sure if you are reading everything before you book. Every low price I did see of which I checked the Weston Hotels was pre-pay only with no refund. This is not good for business as we all know that plans change every other day. Hotels should always have a 24 to 48 hour cancelation policy to help business out even on thesegodo deals. If Starwood’s would think about the customer and not just the pre-bookings they would get more business. I know they are trying but it could be better. Below is a great rate we found for Los Angeles, while this is good we also found good rates in San Francisco and Miami.

That could be true but it is like a glass half full, why not give people the option if plans change? I could not book this on my next trip as plans change, so it will cost me more money. Maybe they will listen to me and change it.
