I initally tried to book all 3 nights using the AMB cert but the system did ot like that.
I then made 2 reservations and yes I intentionally booked the first night's room different from the other 2 nights. I wanted to test to see how much IHG properties values its repeat guests and their top tiers. That is will they upgrade to all 3 nights to the same upgrade level or would they play a game and leave you in 2 different rooms for the 3 nights.
Guess what, I am going to be in the Uluwatu Suite for all 3 nights.

Nope, definitely not. Those suites are decent and as high as you can get without paying for Club. Any of the higher suites require you to book a Club room or higher and then your final room / suite assignment depends on RA vs. AMB and your negotiation skills / relationship with them.

Anyone having experience with using into the nights freenights here?
We have 4 together...both AMB plat and Amb gold?

Assuming that your ITN free nights are treated like award redemption nights they will book into a Resort classic room. If they treat them like redemption nights no upgrade will be given as per T&Cs which they follow quite strictly. You can likely negotiate a bump to a Singaraja room with a bit of persistence or pay a Club room supplement which last time I heard was around 120 US$ per night and room.
YMMV

Is resort classic worth using reward nights for? I have 2 nights using "free Chase nights" and 2 nights using points in resort classic. I just got our 2 free nights for this year that I could use instead of points but the rooms only cost about $230 a night. Is it a good redemption? Also any chance of getting a free roll-away bed when we have 2 adults/2 kids?

Is the rate 230 US$ net or already including the 21% tax and service charge? Don't forget those.
I'm also currently pondering whether to use points as rate at the moment is 161US$ ++ for the time we plan to be there and that would get us at least a Singaraja room before moving to a Jimbaran suite on a FWNC.

Don't cancel anything, if they value you as a loyal customer they will not make you move, be persistent.

They may try, depends. I would think at a minimum they will ask for the Club room supplement for the last night, which I would (dare I say) not find that unreasonable. But certainly try to negotiate it for free.

I have 10 nights booked on points for August and have upgraded this to club duplex for $140++ per night. This is a good deal as with two kids in tow the breakfast alone covers much of extra cost. I don't get access to the lounge after 4pm as the kids are not yet 12. No big deal as drinks are also available at the club pool.
This is a lovely result but showing its age in the rooms. My last duplex experience was very tired indeed with a bath that was impossible to fill.
Still something to look forward too.
