G/P room upgrades - new T&C ??

in reviewing the T&Cs for my reply to the OP staying in HI, I noticed a new term which I hadn't seen before: -

Room Upgrade
For Platinum Elite members the best way is up! Based on room availability at check-in and limited to a Member's personal guestroom, we’ll do our best to upgrade your room. Upgrades may include rooms with desirable views, rooms on high floors, corner rooms, rooms with special amenities, rooms on Executive Floors, or suites, subject to availability identified by each hotel. See terms and conditions for details.

I don't have a problem w/ an upgrade being limited to G/P member's personal guestroom.

Cheers.

I think this is one of those things that was always true, but sometimes the hotel goes above and beyond.
