The rooms themselves are not deluxe by any means though the bathroom was quite large and had a separate tub.
For reference, based on my experience, there are 5 (?) basic room types at this property, which has 3 floors:

1) Standard room (324 sq. ft.), with regular small bathroom and regular tub, a typical hotel room.
2) "Deluxe" Standard room w/patio, basically a std. room on the ground floor with a door that opens to a small seating area outside (separated by lattice & planters) from the public courtyard(s).
3) Executive "suite", which is a larger room (486 sq. ft.) & larger bathroom (about double the size of std. bathroom). Bathroom has spa-jetted "soaking" tub (for 1), separate shower, 2 sinks; the toilet is not in a separate water closet. Sitting area has sofa & coffee table & 2 chairs, but is not walled off from the bed area. Mini-fridge in dresser; 1 TV.
4) Resort Suite, which does have a separate living room walled off from bedroom (which has a closeable door). The living area has a gas fireplace, small wet bar w/mini-fridge, sofa & coffee table & 2 chairs. TV's in both living and bed rooms. Bathroom, however, is much smaller than the Executive "suite" (almost half the size) but still has a spa-jetted tub (for 1) and separate shower.
5) ADA rooms, which don't have tubs, and seem to only have walk/roll-in showers. Not sure on size.

All rooms have the usual work desk and a small dresser. Diamonds get the Executive, or sometimes Resort, as an upgrade if available (unless sold out, of course). As noted in the Confirmed Suite Upgrade thread, using an upgrade cert. gets only the Executive "suite".

BTW, when booking on the web site, not all room types show up as "available" under all rate types or codes; check the different tabs if the room type you want isn't showing.

Also BTW, breakfast for Diamonds at the Brasserie sometimes shows up on the bill as "lunch" if you eat later in the morning, and doesn't get taken off automatically; be sure to check your bill.
