For room upgrades - should I specifically ask if there are any suites available for an upgrade when I check in? Even if they proactively tell me they upgraded me to a room with a view or something, should I still ask about suite availability?
As mentioned above, the Burbank FS is a pretty average hotel, perhaps with the exception of the outdoor bar.
If you don’t absolutely need the space, I wouldn’t stress over a suite for one night. Their suites are just the size of two regular rooms, some have a dividing wall, some don’t. (I think it depends on which tower they assign you to.) No elaborate floorplans or special decorations, just a couch and a small table.
The lounge can be tricky to find. It’s tucked away on the ground floor of the tower closest to the convention center down a hall. While the service is good, they very rigidly stick to their serving times, so don’t expect breakfast more than 5-10 minutes early. And they don’t put coffee out extremely early in the morning. I think it’s usually around 6:00am or so.
