What I generally do is book a room I’m happy to stay in with the certificate then other nights on cash or points in the lowest category room. Then contact the hotel and ask that in lieu of an upgrade, can we stay in the nicer room for the whole stay. I’ve never been refused and once or twice got an upgrade on top of the request. I always make it clear that I don’t want to move rooms, and suggest that this will make housekeeping easier for them as well!
