The SpringHill Suites Downtown was a Cat 7 so was not available with a previous Cat 5 cert.
The SHS Issaquah was a Cat 5 and is now a Cat 4, so both was and still is available via the certs.
The SHS Seattle South/Renton was a Cat 6 and is now a Cat 4, so it was not available with the previous Cat 5 cert but now is available with the Cat 4 cert.
