I have an upcoming stay and read the entire thread. I saw some common themes, and thought it would be useful to start a wiki. Please feel free to update or correct anything. I haven't stayed here, so the information is based on the contents of the thread:
- Diamond Suite Upgrades are NOT available at this property.
- Diamond members receive a complimentary full breakfast for up to 4 guests.
- The beds are very firm platform beds. I saw a few posts where a foam pad for the top of the bed was requested.
- Docked cruise ships that may obstruct the view from the Harbour view rooms.
- The hotel is 4 stories.
The concierge desk offers a weekly tour of the Rocks on Saturday.
Link that shows when cruise ships will be docked opposite the hotel:

Then you will get at least that, which is pretty nice.
Why all the fuss in advance then about getting a standard room, just check-in and see what they have for you. Upgrades are also dependent on availability (and things like how many other regulars and Globs will be upgraded) so there's never a guarantee.

I can confirm that you can be upgraded (quite easily it's happened 3 times to me out of 5) BETWEEN suites (Quay to Opera twice and Quay to Rooftop once) but I've never been upgraded from a Opera deluxe to a suite.

Always book base rooms here
3x-opera deluxe
5x-opera
1x-city view (cc award)
1x-single night rooftop (paid supplement day before move)
Expect a opera king if the occupancy isn't maximum . Deluxe are hit or miss. Suites won't happen (deluxe is basically a jr suite) without a supplement.
I was able to get a opera deluxe and opera view adjoining one time with 2 standard c&p reservations.

Considering booking an 8-night stay on P&C for 1st week of Nov, but a bit worried about actually only getting the Park King with no upgrade. Would anyone be kind enough to speculate on the chances of that? We would not be that bothered with only getting a City Harbour, while of course hoping for a Park Deluxe, but we really do want a balcony.

I think an 8 night upgrade might be tough to get, but who knows.... lots of small balconies as well where there's only room for 1.
But since you are at least providing a decent amount of revenue I would hope your chances are better than on just points.

We stayed at the PH twice way back in 2001 before the renovations and really liked the area, but the rates then were no higher than similar properties in much less desirable locations.

I think I'll start looking at the HR for our entire stay. As I said, with purchasing the points to get P&C, the rate is at the very top end of our budget and I don't think we want to take the risk of getting a crappy room and be really disappointed. After reading through the past 30 pages or so of this thread it does not seem that we could count on the PH for much of an upgrade even if a room was available.

The basic room isn't that bad (I never had the dreaded room at the back), I had it once and was upgrade the next day. But it is an expensive property, especially if you bought the points. Not sure if it's worth it for the basic room.... But then again, the location of the HR isn't that great either.
