Yet, one has two suites and the other has six. So, the chance of upgrade is smaller but the hotel should still be upgrading into those suites, right?
And while the legacy MR properties mostly recognize PPE vs Plat, it's still a mix. As a general rule, an FDA knowing the difference between PPE and Plat is an indication of an engaged GM who wants employees trained. When the FDA greets me as a PPE, I almost always get a suite (sometimes pre-upgraded, sometimes at the desk) -- even when the hotel has suites in the single digits.
