Some pre-upgrades may already have been done on the back office system that are subject to availability, if you are willing to pay cash they will just remove the upgrade from someone.

An upgrade is unlikely if it's the best room or one of the best and the property is almost full.

And welcome!
This is also a great course of action to take. I definitely would not want to rely on staying another day, you risk ending your stay on a potentially ugly note.
