AFAIK these rooms are available as elite upgrades when they're available upon checkin, although I suspect they don't get preassigned as upgrades very often.
Oh yes it is comped if your Plat or Gold, I got upgraded to it once at the Sheraton MIA.
I didnt notice when the OP mentioned "irregardless of status".
