Currently, they have open suite and premium suite award availability almost every single weekend from now until late August, but then there's no Saturday suite availability at all until Jan 2026—only standard 45k point rooms are available on Saturdays. Does anyone know if that's normal for this property? Do they just not allow suite award bookings on Saturdays from late August to Jan 1? Or do we think it will open up more as we get closer?
Alternatively, do we think that if I just book the standard room for 45k and then give them a call they'll offer me a reasonable (say $500-ish) cash upgrade to a one-bedroom city view suite?
Anyone's guess when availability will open, if it opens. Haven't seen any rhyme or reason to it.
Upgrades in my experience have been the exact rate difference between the base room and 1 BR city view suite, so more like $750-$1250 in advance (you might get a cheaper rate IF there's something available at check in).
