FYI:
There is at least one suite at 202 that is never free on free nights. I believe it is suite 7, and it is considered the comparably nicer suite at Point. So, yes, Junior’s son at the front desk was correct and he was not conning you or playing games with you.
A good idea is to make sure that the garoto does not book the room for you. Often, on a busier night (like free cabin night), in the interest of time, they will just request whatever room is available. Or if the garoto does book the room for you, insist that it’s only the free suite that will be accepted no matter what becomes available.
I am not aware of any similar rooms at Club 117 that are not free on free cabin nights.
