Pay to upgrade room booked with points?

As a family of 4 we have stayed previously at both Hiltons and the Doubletree in the Walk area for various winter breaks and managed to book a suitable award standard-rate room for each of the stays.

Somewhat recklessly, we are now a family of 5 so it looks like two bed apartments or adjoining rooms will be needed. Has anyone any experience / success booking standard rooms/suites on points and then paying a supplement to upgrade? (The points rates for 2-bed apartments are not that attractive!)

Thanks.
