This is poor IMO, compared with other brands. As someone said, it depends on the individual hotels, and the ones I stay at constantly move their goalposts (when I was Gold, they told me I needed to be Platinum, when I was PA, they told me I need to be RA to get some minor upgrade to Club)...
It does at IC's (guaranteed Amb perk) and usually at other properties, too (unguaranteed Plat perk) The upgrades are room upgrades, usually no club access. Room upgrades can include other "hidden" perks - if upgraded to e.g. a "business" room, HSIA comes usually free.
