Hi all. First time back on the boards in a minute. We are going as an extended family the last week in September staying at RPH in 3 standard Queen rooms. Is it against protocol to ask if any room upgrades are available at check in? if it’s acceptable, how do you phrase it to be more likely to get the upgrade? Is the procedure anything like in Vegas where you kinda sorta show the desk person the edge of a $50 in your hand or more just asking nicely? Also any recommendations as to room locations and if so when should I request that? We will be myself and wife and 5 kids ranging in age from 29 down to 15. Also MIL and a friend that are older. Are there any less desirable areas of rooms? How far in advance should I make dining reservations? Most important are Cowfish and Toothsome. Thanks in advance for all of your very knowledgeable replies!
