They block off rooms, and start sorting what their occupancy rate is and go down the list upgrading those at the top.

Personally, I'd rather have 6PM cancel and not know room upgrade in advance. I mean, even if it says you are upgraded, they can pull that away from you right up to the point you actually check in.
