Only once out of about 15 stays I did not get a suite.

You get these benefits as a Platinum even if you do not get a suite upgrade.
The internet benefit includes wireless and use of computers in the business center. The happy hour drinks include a light snack. BarSu makes a much better margarita than the Sala. The 3 pieces of laundry per stay is especially good if you are doing a daily mattress run with the WGS.
