UA had booked me at a not-so-great hotel 30 minutes away, and presented it as a fair accompli. I told them that wasn't acceptable. I asked to be booked at the Marriott. The agent had to get the supervisor's approval, but they did it. I think if you can make a good case for a better hotel (like distance and an airport shuttle) you have a much better shot.

This would also be based on status and fare class/cabin class unless laws/regulations say otherwise.
