Will you be there on a weekend? If its anywhere close to a home football game it will be hectic. I stay there couple times a year during footba season. I'm not sure of upgrade as never been offered one as gold and its always sold out when I'm there. Breakfast same, usually don't eat at hotel or haven't in awhile in order to make it to tailgate. Nice hotel thought IMO and very much with in walking distance to everything in downtown. Lots of good restaurants nearby and of course bars.
