First job out of high school was working for a large Hotel. If youre dealing with anyone new forget it, they wouldnt want to take the chance to get in trouble.
Depending on what time you check in, and how busy the Hotel was the night before makes a difference, if it was full, then they have less room to check you into, if you check in early same thing.
The best thing you could do is ask how busy they were lastnight/when you check in.
Look for the Asst Mgr at the front desk and offer him $$, HE can make shit happen if its not busy or overbooked
I know if someone offered me $20+ for a up grade, i would have done it in a second :lol:
