TL;DR

Recent guests report that renovated standard rooms can be similar to pricier options, with the main differences being the floor and view. A complimentary upgrade may be offered after a significant check-in delay.

What the community said

Guests received a complimentary room-category upgrade after their reservation could not be located and check-in took almost two hours. If you face a long delay on arrival, it is worth politely asking for an upgrade.

According to guests, the renovated rooms are generally good across categories; the main differences in a higher-priced option may simply be the view and floor level.

View and floor level

Moving to a more expensive room does not necessarily guarantee a noticeably better stay. When the hotel is busy, availability may be limited, so confirm the exact view, floor and room condition before paying extra.
