The hotel thanked me for making them aware of the Club room size error on the website
Separately, it looks like the Ambassador member rate for Club Lounge access is now €130.

(130 / 0.80 = 162.50 so 112euro should be Ambassador fee going forwards)

I asked for the Ambassador rate and the answer was:
"The Club Lounge access for our members is 130 € per day per room, when not included in the offer."
I will be at the hotel so will ask and confirm the rate. Will update here.

I booked a 100% paid Club Room as a Spire Ambassador.
Just checked my profile and they "upgraded" me to an Eiffel Tower View Superior Room, which is advertised as 280 Sq Ft.
I have seen some posts about them not providing 355 sq ft rooms that are in the Club description.
Any recommendations on what I should ask for on arrival?
Last time they upgraded me to an Opera View Jr Suite, which I know was pure luck. But I don't feel like the Eiffel Tower Room is a solid "upgrade."
I will offer to pay for an upgrade but I figure I'd check with the forum to see how I should approach their upgrade they have given me already.
I check in in two days, and the hotel has plenty of other rooms available as of today.

It is 440 sq ft and about the same size as the Jr Suite I stayed in last year but without a sitting area. I am happy with the upgrade.
The Eiffel Tower view really only allows the top 1/3 of the structure to be seen.

I booked a Club room and was kindly updated to a Junior Suite last weekend. Nice room on 1st floor (Capucine wing).

It is okay it is not like I am going to spend the whole day in the hotel as long as they have a bed when we can crash all good. Hidden fees though ?

So from what I see this hotel doesn't have any suite upgrade exclusions in the T&Cs. So if I book the Opera House View Prestige Suite, I'm guaranteed an upgrade to the Royal Two Bedrooms Suite (two-tier upgrade)??
Does anyone have recommendations for the best room to aim for?
p.s. - this would be using my AMB certificate.

Personally I've been upgraded from the lowest room to an Ambassador Suite a few times. Even on reward nights!
