Help needed!!! Upgrade from most expensive room and extension when hotel fully booked

Dear All

First post here though you will find me on the British Airways forum from time to time. I would appreciate your collective wisdom.

1. Currently on vacation in Miami and promised Mrs AF a short trip to the keys but when I came to book the Hilton Key Largo the only room available was one of the best suites. Worse it was only available for one night tomorrow. In the interest of domestic harmony I took it. I note there is no Executive Lounge at the hotel

2. As a Hilton Diamond is there any upgrade I can realistically expect or ask for?

3. Mrs AF thinks we are staying two nights but the web site would not let me book the second night at the hotel as it is fully sold for the second night ( save in an inferior room facing the trees ( don't facing selling that one to Mrs AF when the first night is 4th floor Bay view).

A) what is the Florida law on not checking out and insisting on extending by a day? In some jurisdictions one can stay but have to pay the rack rate.

B) does Diamond status give me any automatic right to extend?

All contributions gratefully received and if there is anything I can help with in London (or Africa) just send a PM.
