I too have booked a one-room suite for the same points as a standard room at other Choice properties. (I rarely see the suites even listed as available for points in recent years; maybe I've just been unlucky most of the time.) I've also taken advantage of "steals" like the Clarion Collection O'Brien in San Antonio when it was 6,000 points/night (20,000 now). I've never seen a situation as extreme as this one, though. I won't be upset if they move me to a standard room, especially if it at least has a double bed; the $1,000-$1,200 of two nights' regular room rate for 32,000 total points is still a good deal. The concern is that they'll be sold out of regular rooms and try to find a way not to let the expensive suite be taken just for points.
