Should you pay extra for a sea view room when booking a hotel in Turkey, or upgrade on arrival?

TL;DR
It's often cheaper to book a standard room without a view and either pay a small on-site upgrade fee (usually $20-30 one-time) or ask for a free upgrade at check-in if rooms are available.

One traveler compared prices and recommends booking a plain standard room, then paying for the upgrade at the hotel — it worked out noticeably cheaper than selecting a sea-view category during booking.

Another traveler paid a one-time fee of about $20-30 on-site for a better room, which was cheaper than booking a higher room category in advance.

A third traveler booked a plain standard room and tried to pay for a family room at check-in, but none were available — instead they were given a sea-view room for free with no extra charge.
