I’ve only ever been upgraded at 2 Marriott properties in the 8 years I’ve been doing this. Just like others have said, highly dependent on property. I’ve also been at crap properties off the highway and even nothing there. I barely even get greeted with the little tag line for being a Titanium. Really debating Hyatt.....but that may be masochistic in terms of availability

I am upgraded almost always. Often to better views / executive rooms, but many times to suites as well. Some hotels upgrade me to suite in every single stay.

Then, if I need it for any special reason, I ask and sometimes get the +100sqm suites / apartments.

Higher floor. Corner room. Quieter room (courtyard view vs busy street). Upgraded a level or two up, or to a suite. Free breakfast buffet or parking.

Just depends on the specific property, the chain, etc.

This. It’s highly dependent on the hotel. If you’re at a big business hotel in a major city, you’ll get nothing and like it. A random courtyard on the side of a highway? Might get a suite. Depends greatly.

Do you usually get upgraded at platinum when you’re travelling on weekend personal trips (ie not during the week when everyone else is Ambassador)?

I was upgraded in Puerto Rico to ocean view on personal travel and I’m only gold

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.
