If it is a published level and hotels are properly educated/trained I would not just give PP up. I'm in San Diego Westin in September -- only 5 suites out of 463 rooms making any suite upgrade mathematically close to impossible. If my PP beats regular Plats --- nice. There too many Plats now, suite upgrades are so tough to get especially at stingy props and/or with fewer suites. Personally for me the rest of PP benefits are appreciated but are not material whatsoever. Suites upgrades for me are No.1, amenity breakfast/access to club lounge is distant No. 2 for vacations only. My stays are longer usually (1 week +) and I feel claustrophobic in crammed 200 sq. ft. regular rooms. My company pays for regular rooms only, of course. :0
