Unfortunately, Marriott has excluded their extended stay properties from their elite upgrade benefits. So technically, you shouldn't have received an upgrade due to your elite status at all. As far as Marriott's Rewards program goes, the hotel is correct.

Now with that said, I guess a given hotel might try to go above and beyond the minimum program requirements and provide upgrades. And if they did that, I guess they could base the upgrades on any criteria they want (i.e. rate, elite status, etc.)
