Yeah unfortunately for me I never get upgrades as i always stay 7-30 nights at a time.
I always burn my TSUs here and sometimes pay to get the exec suite.
Premier is too much to pay up to and I don't need that much space
Yes, some premier suites have balconies (like 2206), as do the two Presidential Suites on the top floor.
When it was a Cat. 2, the extra points for a deluxe suite was not much more than a standard suite. Even now the points difference is not great though more than before.
If you broke up your long stay into 3-4 shorter stays, and if you talked up check-in staff (esp. managers) in the lounge in a friendly way, almost for sure you would have been further upgraded on your 2nd or 3rd stays, even from a regular, standard suite.
