Based upon requests, this is now a wiki - please feel free to edit - but please only post the suite that you are confirmed into and not what you ultimately get (eg PH Vendome books into Park Suite but many ultimately get a Park Executive Suite). I'll start with that one for formatting example - I will try to do refinements to this when I have some time later.

Regency Suite King -- room 723 (Corner room with Portman Square view)
53 sq. m -- 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath
Outstanding room in a tremendous hotel. I highly recommend using the suite upgrade at the Churchill. We also received club access. ^ Nice upgrade off LTO prepaid rate at about 180 GBP per night.

I have the same confirmation for Nov on a AAA rate ($273). The ocean suite is my favorite layout.
I originally had it booked on points, but at these prices, it was crazy not to pay for most of the stay + the suite upgrade and use points for the balance.
Now if they will only give me my favorite location of this one

We already have the del5k on the reservation. We will have the suite for the points part because we reserved it using points We have become terribly addicted to that Ocean Suite - I think it will be our 4th or 5th stay in one ^^

Additional info on upgrades at Grand Hyatt NYC: Diamond line said only Junior Suites are eligible to be upgraded to. Hotel reception confirmed to me that all of these are interior facing only. Lexington suites are smaller than Junior and are lower category than Juinor, it is basically a larger room. Conclusion, it is hard to justify using suite upgrade for this hotel.

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina
I had my 3-night stay at Mission Bay over Labor Day. Upon check-in I was told I had been upgraded to a Regency Club King. I asked if that room is considered a suite and was told "no, we don't have any suites, we are sold-out this weekend." Paraphrase of the conversation that followed:
Me: I requested a suite upgrade for this room
Front desk: Sorry, suite upgrades are based upon availability.
Me: Even electronic confirmed suite upgrades?
FD: Yes.
Me: Are you sure? The paper certs are based upon availability, but I confirmed this upgrade two months ago.
FD: Who did you confirm this with?
Me: The Diamond reservations. Does your system show that I requested the upgrade?
FD: Yes, its there, but we don't have any suites available. Let me check something.
She heads to another computer and looks something up and comes back a few minutes later.
FD: Sorry about that, would you like ocean or bay view?
Me: Ocean, thank you.
The room was as bbbb described in post #53; end room on the 17th (Regency) floor.
1. Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina
2. Not sure the name of but looks similar to the VIP suite. Curtain dividing the bed from living room. Room was #1720.
3. 500-600??? sqft
4. Studio with 1 BA
5. B-, the check-in hassle wasn't really worth it. I expected something better. The view was great though.
6. Since, its the end room you get to hear the ice machine which is also at the end of the hallway. The seals start barking about 5am and the kids start screaming at the pool at 8am. Even on the 17th floor it was a noisy room.

FWIW, I've received this same room without using a diamond suite upgrade certificate, however since they were sold out, and sounds like you had a tough time getting one even with a confirmed certificate, that would not have been possible when you stayed.
