I'd be interested to know who was pro-active here -- did you ask about a paid upgrade or did they offer? (I've never asked or been offered.)

Interesting (and several posters in the specific property thread have expressed the opposite view). One factor muddying things is definitely the (for outsiders) unpredictable pricing. I've paid from £69 to £200 for a standard room at the Sofitel -- and you can be sure that the times it was nearer £200 I checked the T4 Hilton prices first and found them to be just as high or higher.
