I've had good luck with the Gwen, but that doesn't seem to be everyone's experience.

Typically, I'd look at the average rates of hotels that interest you and how they vary from what you see for your stay: if they're much higher rates, occupancy is obviously high and your chances are lower for SNAs and any suite upgrades to clear.

The algorithm is complex, so it's always tough to know which hotel is best for SNAs--but I'd always recommend picking a hotel or hotels with more suites than one with fewer when all things are otherwise equal/close.
