The good news is that you can get a room. The bad news is that it may not be exactly the room to which you are accustomed and at an extraordinary price.

At the end of the day, this is no different than air carriers which will almost always overbook for a full Y fare, even if they have to bump someone who paid a lot less and has no status.
