* The Room Category Upgrade is subject to the availability of the next category from the category booked, at the time of check-in.
** The Hotel Credit is per stay and may be used towards Food & Beverage Charges or a Spa service on property valued at $100 or more. Same applies even when multiple reservations are made for a stay on consecutive days that result in “back-to-back” dates. There will only be a one-time Hotel Credit for the entire duration of any reservations over consecutive days.
* The One Room Category Upgrade at Time of Booking is still subject to availability & black-out dates even when the next category is showing available. This is due to forecast levels of occupancy which are controlled by the hotel. In effect, there will be occasions where the hotel will not upgrade the reservation within 24 hours of booking but will still honor the upgrade if it is possible at time of check-in. Upgrades from a non-suite, room category to a suite are not applicable.
