Expected? No
Asked for? Yes

So would I not ask?

Just as soon as you mentioned Rome Marriott Grand Hotel Flora, I realized that I forgot about my stay there in May 2004 for three nights. I was upgraded to a beautiful two room suite there. I did ask for it in advance. I had to ask for it again when I got to the front desk, and looked at more than one room before the one that I ended up with, but as I said, it was a beautiful room! As I am so fond of saying, IF YOU DON'T ASK, YOU DON'T GET!
