I ended up cancelling GH Hong Kong, but all other four stays were simply that. Club access and no upgrade to club rooms.
HR Naha, HR Tokyo, and HR TST have a very limited number of true "Club" rooms. GH HK no longer markets a club room, only "king/twin room with club access".
I you want a room category above the base room, you can surely book it and still apply a club access award.
The club access award most certainly does not guarantee access to a "club" room. At many properties there is little difference between a standard room and a club room other than the club access.
