Another success story, just a few minutes' walk away from the site of stifle's rather super upgrade: booked a Points and Money room at the Hilton London Green Park, which booked into a basic "twin" room, and ended up in the hotel's only suite.
Obviously many things were working in our favour: it was just one night, it was at the weekend and it was a few weeks before large numbers of vacationing Americans with Diamond status start streaming into London. But it was still a pleasant upgrade. ^

On current trip booked a regular king at Hilton Dulles Airport and upgraded to Junior Suite - I stay here fairly often and nearly always get upgraded to junior suite. Then flew to Bali and checked in at the Conrad Bali using points. Reservation was for a deluxe king and was upgraded to Ocean Suite which is very, very nice. Actually, I think this suite is preferable to the Conrad Suites because of superior ocean views.

Hilton Molino Stucky Venice and Hilton CDG Paris
Venice upgraded to an Executive Suite.
CDG upgraded to a corner large Junior Suite with the most spectacular views of the runway AND a view right to the city with Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower both visible at night.
Add those to last Tuesday's suite upgrade at Hilton Belfast to make a great hat trick. Very, very happy with all stays.

W-A Arizona Biltmore
Checked in on a Govt rate and without asking was given a suite in the Valley Wing. The view is looking into the garden, not towards the mountain. It's basically 1.5 times the size of the standard rooms in this wing. In general can't complain about the room. (Although what really irks me about the W-A properties is no breakfast for elites, but I guess that's a topic for another thread).

Hampton Inn & Suites - Homestead, FL
April 23 until ???
(My res. is for about 30 days)
Upon arrival I was given the keys to a run of the mill small double room on the top (5th) floor.
I called the front desk from the room and reminded them that the original res. was for a King. (They had been shuffling my reservations because I couldn't book a room for such a long time on a single res.)
The FDA (Manager on duty) said no problem. We'll get you a King. I can send the keys to the new room up to you. I said no, I'll meet you in the lobby and pick them up. When I got to the FD she was busy shuffling reservations and not only got me a King room but a King suite. I was very thankful considering the length of my stay.

Upgraded to junior suite on executive level at Hilton Washington Dulles for a one-night stay.
At the Washington Hilton (1919 Connecticut) on a two-night stay, I noticed that they had allocated a suite the night before check-in, which was consistent with what they had done on a stay there last month (April 2012).
However, by the time we got to the hotel, they had changed it back to a regular room, and not a very good one at that. Small and not on the executive level.
We called down to ask for a larger room. They moved us to a corner room that was slightly larger, but was a country mile away from the elevator.
