If you already left the property it may be an uphill battle, but other than the hotel itself the Ambassador Service Team is your best option.
Did you discuss the no upgrade with the property when you were there and they promised the 10k points, but never delivered on it OR you feel / know no upgrade was granted, but didn't address it while on property?
thank you. i am preparing for an upcoming stay which there is a chance i might not be upgraded. as the next room type for a king bed is a suite ( few levels up). which i feel the hotel likely will not give.
