They ended up on a waitlist at the HR and finally just after midnight they were given a room. ~$215++ in the end. And of course no upgrade possible.
Yeah, this place was really busy. I wasn't sure if I could arrive at DFW on the same day so didn't make a reservation till the last minute. I checked it on Orbitz and other 3rd party sites, and their inventories were gone in the morning, but the price on Hyatt.com was like $250 and award/points stay was available. I didn't expect an upgrade, but I was asked if I wanted to get any suite at check-in.
