Unfortunately, none of us could possibly guess based on the information that you provided. Every ticket has its fare rules and none of us could possibly know if yours allows free changes, changes for a fee (and what fee) or even (rarely nowadays) no changes at all although from the above it seems that it is not free changes and that they were already rather nice to waive that fee when you upgraded as it should have been charged.
When you booked, you will have seen those change conditions on the screen and it is always a good idea to print them, or if you booked over the phone, they will have been read to you (it's compulsory for agents to do so) and again, it is a good idea to write them down too.
In addition to the fare rules, there is obviously the question of whether the hotel you booked will be available or not. So in effect, you need to call and ask them, there is no way around that unless you know: 1) what you paid AND 2) what your fare conditions were in which case you can do a mock booking now, check the price, calculate the difference, and add the change fee.
