I was upgraded once to a suite for a one night stay a while back, and unfortunately I didn't take any pictures (other than of the view). Oddly out of my dozens of paid stays over the years, they upgraded me to a suite the one time I used my annual Hyatt award night.

Unfortunately, this property currently only has 5 suites, so you can not use points or a diamond suite upgrade for them. You have to pay for it or get really, really lucky!

The suite I got was in the main building (I think it might have been the Santa Clara suite if I remember right, but I don't recall for sure), and was fantastic!!! It was like a different hotel. The room was easily double if not triple the size of the other rooms I've had there (I'd say roughly 750 sq ft), had a nicely upgraded bathroom, decent size living room, separate bedroom, plantation shuttles, hardwood floors, etc.

Yeah, most of my complaints about this hotel are all things they couldn't fix due to these facts! When I had a complaint once about something, they said there were a number of issues they couldn't address during the renovations due to the historic nature of the hotel.

My only hope is with what I've read about the new owners, that they might turn the long term residence building into suites eventually like this article suggests, which would double the number of suites:

"The Trust is still evaluating its options, but has initial plans to renovate and convert the five-villa apartment building into an all luxury suite building."

The only change I've noticed so far with the new owners is the parking situation (and parking price) getting worse and worse!
