I was talking about people who show up at the airport and still don't have hotels or at the hotel and want a better room. I wasn't given a choice myself, either because choices weren't offered at the time or because they wanted all of us in the waiting area to go to the same hotel. I believe that you might be offered several options if you try it now, assuming there is enough demand to warrant such.
