You don't have the facts or numbers to support a decision they made based on the facts and numbers. Hold the dates you can get now. Check the website every day to see if someone has canceled, opening inventory for your missing dates. Be flexible.

Yes, I've reached out to hotels before. While PP. It has never worked. It doesn't hurt, as you will still be without the room, so why not? Even if you have a 0.000001% chance of getting the room, that's more of a chance than you would have if you don't reach out. You may find a miracle. Just don't expect it.
