Rates change and most require you to rebook at the current rates. The only option (IMO) is to suck it up and eat the loss since your plans changed, or cancel and see if the Exec Room opens back up at the same rate. However, it might not, and you'll be stuck with the lower room.
+1 - What OP wants is to change the reservation. That means repricing at current levels. Do do otherwise would encourage people to book the cheap rate for the maximum possible length which may be needed and to preserve the rate later.

Not to suggest that an individual property won't do this for you, but it's not to be expected.
