So at Grand Hyatts or Resorts, you've got to pay the deluxe room rate before using the 6,000 points to upgrade?

You do know that's not a suite, right? It's just an oversized room with a sleeping alcove that also can be used for business meetings.

At many hotels, the entry level suites are just oversized rooms and/or junior suites without a separate bedroom. In some they are just 2 regular rooms that have been connected with one that has a murphy bed.

It varies from property to property.
