When you check in, if you see you're next to the elevator shaft or ice/vending areas, kindly request to change rooms. When you make this kind of room change request, front desk folks gather that you are a savvy traveler and will give you the best room they know of in your rate category -- or an upgrade. This even works for Priceline rooms, though you have to really befriend the desk agent at check-in. In both cases, kindness always prevails in getting perks.

TripKick.com also includes a very easy-to-follow, on-the-go print-out (check the "Compare Rooms" tab). You can take this with you and show the concierge when checking in.
