I have a similar question to wholeinone04's.
My situation: booked two nights at IC Hong Kong in mid-december using my free night certs from the Accelerate program. This got me a Superior Room.
I've emailed the hotel asking for cost to upgrade the room. Would it make sense to buy the Ambassador status for $200 in order to get an extra "bump". Thinking the Ambassador would get me one category upgrade, and then pay up from there. I want the harbor view.
Also...do these rooms only have King beds? They had trouble fulfilling my free night redemption because I had my room preferences on IHG set to two beds. Since I'm travelling with a child, I'd much prefer two queens.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
