Both the first night and the last night are booked with FHR. In between there are a couple of points nights, and a four-night sequence booked through Citi Prestige.
To focus on the two bookend FHR nights. When I go onling at ihg.com, I can see that the reservations exist, but I cannot see anything about room type. For example, I'd like a king bed. Also, while I am not expecting any crazy double upgrade, am I correct in thinking that I should be guaranteed at least some upgrade in advance via the Ambassador status (since I know that FHR upgrades are technically subject to availability and thus hard to pin down in advance)?
Obviously what I am hoping for is to nail down my "entitlements," then see if they will subsume a good upgrade for the two points nights within the longer stay.
Any advice on how to initiate / monitor this is appreciated. Hyatt I know like the back of my hand, but IHG and Intercontinental are still strange lands to me.
i would research the IC Bordeaux thread, and also ambassador experiences, and Royal Ambassador experience threads.
you should get your ambassador upgrade, other issues like breakfast etc included in the FHR rate, which they usually are, are another issue, cld go either way, depends on the property. but do keep this in mind, if there is a F&B credit of $100, example, then you should absolutely get that twice, if you have the first night, and last night, with different confirmation numbers.
