On the rare occasion where I wasn't preupgraded, they would take care of it at checkin, This time, however, they explained that all the suites had been preupgraded for people using SNA's. Obviously. that benefits the 50 night a year guest who might not otherwise get a suite upgrade but is a downgrade to the 125-150 night guest, I hadn't realized this might be part of the reason suite upgrades have almost stopped.
