Agree.

But the hotel offered several options to make things right and, let's face it, it was your own laziness and your CHOICE not to move rooms. As far as I'm concerned, you also gave up your right to any compensation (not that I think you're due any anyway). You can't deny a hotel's every attempt to fix a situation, then expect extra cash, points, or whatever as well.
Agree.
