And yep, there is an upcharge for this on a Saturday night, no idea why.
there are ways to have a different rate for weekend concierge rooms....hate to say it but folks are being lazy (most hotels would typically not offer their concierge rooms on weekends but those that do I'm certain don't think about it...I've seen a lot of full service Hilton's doing the same thing...this is certainly on my pet peeve list)
