Suite night upgrade jump in price

[Phoenix-1]

More of a vent than anything. Trying to book two nights at the Sofitel Legend Hanoi, base room rate is ~$1000 for two nights including taxes. Add a suite night upgrade and it jumps to more than $2000, which is the price of the highest non-suite room. Is this how suite night upgrades are supposed to work?

In theory - no. In reality - yes.
Most of the hotels doing SNU pump it to one tier below.
There are a few that don't do that but from searching around they're the exceptions.
