3 different results on my recent trip, all reasonable

Property: Westin Palace Milan
Date: 7 nights in May
Booked: Standard King
Room Received: Grand King
Award Stay: No
BRG Stay: No
SNA: No

A bit of a disappointment but an upgrade; there was an event on at the hotel and this room did have the view of the Duomo.

Property: Sheraton CDG
Date: 2 nights in May
Booked: Standard King
Room Received: Club Floor
Award Stay: C+P
BRG Stay: No
SNA: No

What I always get here; there are not many suites and they do not seem worth any effort.

Property: Sheraton Malpensa
Date: 1 night in June
Booked: Standard King
Room Received: Diplomatic Suite
Award Stay: No
BRG Stay: No
SNA: No

My second time in this huge room; the downside is that it's a roughly 3 minute walk to the elevator but the room has an amazing shower room with multiple fixtures plus a nice couch/tv area. They let me in early (around noon) without any fuss.

Property: Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon
Date(s): A Friday night June 2014
Room booked: Traditional Queen Bed City View
Room received: Regal Manor
Award stay:No
BRG stay: No
SNAs redeemed: No
Comments: A two storey open loft suite of over 800 sq ft. 1 king bed, Jacuzzi tub, large living area, hardwood floors downstairs. Seems to be the largest suite in the house.

Stay here multiple times/ year and this is the first time I have received this. The hotel seems to have high occupancy during the week ( conventions etc. ) and at weekends ( a large water park with slides etc. ), so often UG not available at all, except perhaps to Club Floor and/ or River view.

3125?

All the diplomatic suites are located at the two front corners of the hotel and roundabout 250 m from the four central elevators.
