The property has retitled a floor of traditional rooms (non-renovated) to be exec rooms. They are however only exec rooms in name. These are typically the 'upgrades' they try to pass out now. As our corporate SPG co-ordinator in London told me, it is basically the old SPG floor with a flexible title that can be changed to show an upgrade after complaints about the lack of upgrade at the property. Basically just a case of them gaming the system to say they have made an upgrade.

As you suggest, push for a higher floor with a renovated room. That actually is a room upgrade as opposed to the faux upgrades they try now.
