Hi,
This is my favourite IC, we've stayed a few times, you'll love it.
The first time we went I was only a PLAT, we booked the cheapest room available and were upgraded to a really nice room, having said that it was October and quite quiet. Since then I have been a PLAT AMB and have only every been 'upgraded' to a room with a better view, however, having said that I booked the better rooms and the only 'real' upgrade would have been to a suite but the hotel was very busy. I'll definitely go back soon.
Having said all this, if this is not a business trip and you are paying for the rooms yourself (or a points booking) you should apply for AMB. You will get a 2-for-1 voucher which will definitely pay for itself on a two night stay.
