What the community said
One traveler said they booked a standard room and then upgraded at the hotel for $20. In their experience, this was much cheaper than paying for a higher room category in advance through a tour operator.

There are also much pricier examples: one case mentioned upgrading two standard rooms to a three-room family unit for $250. This suggests the cost depends a lot on how big the upgrade is and how many rooms are involved.

Another traveler reported paying an unofficial $100 to move from a standard room to a family room. They also noted that some hotels have an official room-upgrade price list, so it is worth asking reception about the official option first.
