First time at the brand new Curio Hart Shoreditch in London.
Great hotel, well situated, well appointed.
Was upgraded from a Queen to. King Junior Suite, however the room size/appointments was equivalent to most Queens I’ve stayed in. Not sure exactly how small a Queen is (this was apparently a 4 category upgrade).

Hilton Naples
Stayed for 7 nights last week (5 points + 2 cash). Asked at check-in if any suites were available. Didn't get much of an answer so I said I saw there was an accessible suite available on the app. Got the upgrade even though the hotel was pretty full, all other suites were sold out. Only difference to a regular suite was a large shower instead of a bathtub. 1.5 bathrooms, and a nice living room that was separated from bedroom with doors that could open or close. This is a great property with excellent service and no resort fee even though it's close to the beach. Lounge closed but got appetizer coupons for restaurant which were good.

Once again, I booked a King Deluxe room & this time was pre-upgraded 24 hours before to a King Executive Room but upon arrival (& following a chat 
) was allocated a King Family Suite. All handled well & with good grace by all concerned. Busiest I have the seen the hotel in my 4 or so covid-era stays this year (although it is a holiday weekend here).
