It is subject to availability and subject to what the hotel terms an upgrade -- you should know better OP!

Look, it would be nice that the hotel would upgrade you, but they are under no obligation to do so -- especially to a 2 BR suite -- which goes for far much more than either the usual studio or 1 BR suites at most RI properties.

I generally hope that if I have booked a Studio suite they would upgrade me to a 1 BR suite -- as the studio costs less but is not so outrageously out of the ball park as sometimes the 2 BR suites are.

If one comes in late in the night and they see that it is not likely to be sold then that is one thing, but to call early in the day on Saturday to EXPECT an upgrade to a 2 BR suite is not only unrealistic, it is classic DYKWIA Piggishness, IMHO.

I you did not get it, grow up, move on and endure the sofa bed, or better yet, DYKWIA Platinum, spring for another room big spender!
