After checking the hotels website I saw that the Grand Deluxe is actually only a room and not a suite so I inquired again about the upgrade. Was told by the Ambassador that the two categories the SNA applied to at this hotel are the Grand Deluxe and the Prestige Suite. This makes me wonder....are hotels allowed under the T&C to include "rooms" as part of the SNA pool? If so, doesn't it seem strange to call it an SNA? If hotels are indeed allowed to include "rooms" what is to stop them from including even low category rooms in the SNA?
Hi christianj,

This is in the SPG FAQ.

What is a Suite Night Award?

It’s a one-night confirmable room upgrade to a suite or select premium room.
