If you turn that down they may then refuse to give you the 10K points on the basis they have offered an upgrade. In that case I would contact the Ambassador people as they will probably give you the 10K points even though you are perhaps not entitled to them.
Yeah, it doesn't seem very likely that an Ambassador would be upgraded all the way to a suite just because a suite is the only other room with a King bed.

But I'm also curious as to which IC hotel is going to have King bed rooms in a low category, but then only 2 Twins or 1/2 Queens in higher categories. Doesn't seem all that logical...
