Has the $20 "trick" worked for anyone at the Paris Hotel?

I am planning an upcoming stay and was wondering if I should try the trick?

What type of a room should I ask for (specific room type/name I should ask for)? As a Hilton HHonors Gold I have usually been upgraded to a view room on a higher floor, but I was wondering if any suites were available?

I will be traveling with the Mrs. and the Pupster and it sure would be nice if the room was big enough to put his crib somewhere so that we don't wake him up everytime one of us gets up at night to use the bathroom.
