So I made 2 GoH bookings at the Hyatt Regency LAX, at a time I'll be staying there as well. In both cases, the Hyatt Concierge was only able to assign ADA rooms upon booking - in one case two queens. I called the hotel, which immediately changed the bookings to high floor, non-ADA king rooms....not an upgrade but at least not a downgrade. The hotel urged me to cancel both bookings and make new reservations under my name to enhance the likelihood of upgrades. This is the total opposite of how GoH bookings are supposed to work, but I've heard stories (say the Alili Napa Valley) where there is no indication the GoH is in fact a GoH.

Any thoughts, and maybe about the HR LAX in particular? Even if they upgrade the room on a non-GoH booking under my name, are they likely to provide the F&B and late checkout benefits?
