Any tips on getting an upgrade?

Listen, it's not an ideal place to stay at quality wise, but for the cost using miles, it can't be beat.

A lot also depends on your expectations going in, and the type of quality you expect. If you're accustomed to 'only the best', then you'll find what to hate at the LM. If you're not too picky about its failings, then it's great.
