And her statement that "upgrades are never free" is complete nonsense, there are dozens of rates (AMEX FHR, Virtuoso, Ensemble, Signature etc.) which come with a free upgrade based on availability.
can't agree more, was she trying to say in essence "complimentary doesn't mean free" ?

i'd suggest you kindly point that out in the customer feedback after the stay, which property was this may i ask?
