Comments: Checked in no upgrade, asked about upgrade promised a Suite the next day, BellHop heard said he would move us next day, next day pack up call BellHop go to Front Desk told Suite was ready but it would be an extra $500 per night, Sounded so stupid I didn't even say one word just turned around and walked away.
Marriott doesn't have SNAs, so the above is a format from the SPG forum

. I started to read the upgrade thread in the SPG forum, but it's unwieldy so I prefer upgrade info (in this forum) to go in the appropriate property threads, but that's just me.
I've gotten suite upgrades at both the JW & the Marriott in NOLA, but it's been a few years so sounds like things have changed.
Cheers.
