Ic ambassador
Hi, We are IHG elite spire and now upgraded to ic ambassador. We are staying our first night at an IC after this upgrade. We asked ahead what room we would get on online chat (before we payed for the ambassador program) and were told with the room we were booking (the Club room) we would be uograder to a Club suite. Calling them Today since there were an error in the booking on the app we were told we would Get 2 connecting doubles... Is this really what to expect?

What a poor form of customer service of that chat agent.
With Amb status you get a guaranteed one category upgrade.
In this case, one category higher than the club room (and obviously you keep the club benefits of the original booking).
What that upgrade is, is totally hotel dependent. E.g. executive room, premier room, corner room, junior suite, ...

Interesting. I am booked at the IC Miami (on Chopin Plaza) this coming Thu-Sun, prior to a cruise and booked a King City View Club Intercontinental room. Was just looking at my reservation online and it is now upgraded to a Club Intercontinental Townhouse Suite. So it appears they do honor the upgrade guarantee, at least in this case.
