2) At properties that are all suites, like the Kea Lani, what upgrade certificate does one use, and if the answer to 1) is that the suite upgrade moves you from a regular room to a suite, what does the suite upgrade get you at the Kea Lani?
Thanks
1) A suite upgrade cert upgrades you from a Fairmont room (or any room category except a Moderate room) to the "designated suite category", which usually means youŽll be upgraded to a junior or one-bedroom suite, some hotels are more generous than others. See this thread for some examples:

2) IIRC you can upgrade from a regular suite to a partial ocean view or ocean view suite using a suite upgrade cert, but IŽm sure the regular visitors at that hotel can tell you the current policy (you should find some info in the Kea Lani master thread)
