I am a Titanium so hope for an upgrade as well. Any thoughts on this?

I have stayed at Westin & JW. I have not stayed at the Marriott. I prefer the Westin to the JW. I am an Ambassador level guest and almost always get upgraded to a higher floor. But it is just a room. I would not expect a suite. I usually get a couple of drink coupons as being an Ambassador. I like the breakfast in the restaurant. Neither hotel is life changing but I get a consistently good stay at the Westin. I like the fact that the Westin has a Peloton in the health club so I can get a ride in while staying there.
