No. Discoverist only gets preferred room within same room type. Your City View was a higher room type (and you lucked into one of the best non-suites in the entire property - the 57th St. facing rooms are a seriously inferior experience).
It's so typical of this property to demand an upgrade fee to keep the same room.
