Have a Fairmont stay in March, for the first time will be seeing what the upgrade at time of check-in will do for me. I really miss the guaranteed upgrade (especially the suites!). I have my room booked at friends and family rate, any idea whether that will affect me getting an upgrade at check-in? If they deny me an upgrade based on availability, is there any point in mentioning that higher room classes are still available to be booked online (if that is indeed the case when I check in)?
