Ps. Also check availability night by night. Don't be afraid to book multiple reservations one for each night. It may be that standard rooms are available some of the nights. Then your request for all nights at standard would more likely be accommodated. I had to book this way in Aruba; I had three rooms for 10 nights. Had to break into multiple reservations. Then called hotel and they opened up more rooms, and got at least one or two rooms upgraded on arrival.
My trip will be over a weekend, check in on a Friday and check out on Monday. The day that doesn't have the availability is the Saturday. I booked Friday and Sunday but left out the Saturday. Should I book it and ask if they will change it to a standard reservation?
