Okay, okay. I know they don't offer floor plans to click on. And it's true you can't tell if you're stashing yourself next to the ice machine unless you know the property well. In my limited experience, though, I have consistently ended up in nicer rooms (bigger, corner rooms, etc.) I do not know if doing OLCI ruins your chances of a spontaneous suite upgrade, etc.
