I confirmed with the hotel that the outdoor pool will be closed during my dates (they usually close it mid to late October) so I assume the rooftop bar will be closed. The King George is slightly more expensive for more dates (about $50 USD/ night).

Although space is not a priority to me, in addition to the extra $145/ night, another tradeoff is a suite at the GH vs. a regular room at the GB. Is the GB likely to upgrade me due to my FHR rate (and Gold status) or would it be a one category upgrade at best?
