Conrad Bangkok April2018 5nights on points (5th night free). Conrad also sold out on first two of my midweek points nights about 1week out (I reviewed room availability/rates situation a week out as is my norm )
Room modded online circa midday day before checkin from entry level King Guest -> King Bed Exec Suite and completed the online checkin once I saw modded, and got the promised/modded room at my 8pm checkin
Very happy with such an upgrade on award nights, I have not stayed much during 2017, unlike during 2015+2016 , though were usually were paid nights. I believe my past 2015-1Q2017 regular stay loyalty was rewarded.
Was just burning up my orphaned 144k of 160k HH points balance, that don't go as far in my major European Cities/Capitols nights (frustratingly was priced at 4x first nights 36k than using individual 36/31/29/28/29 or average)
I can even see Conrad Bangkok receiving far more from Hilton corporate for soldout scenario re award nights at 'Daily Ave Rate' than at my usual fairly low fixed corporate paid rate which may have helped.
