Starwood Preferred Guest Information
As a villa property, we are unable to offer select SPGŪ elite member benefits including upgrades, Suite Night Awards, 4:00 p.m. late check-outs, and Your24. Also, in regards to Free Night Awards: May only book within 365 days
Is this new?? I've stayed here in the past and had no trouble getting an upgrade or late check out.

Yes, that is correct. It is standard language for all SVO properties. This property typically has the capability to provide upgrades and late check-out. Of course, both of those benefits depends on occupancy and as an SVO property they are subject completely to the discretion of the property.
