Concierge Level $169.00 - sounds like this room is identical to a standard room with the extra 50 dollars being the charge for accessing the lounge

So balcony room + concierge level access is a 119 + 10 + 50 = 179 dollar value.

If that room doesn't have any value to you you need to let the front desk know. Many times peopel check off high level and don't really value it that* much if they can get an upgraded rooom on a lower floor.

The upcharge for concierge level isn't an upcharge for a "category" of room, it's and upcharge for concierge level access.
