I think you can specifically request adjoining rooms. Also requesting floor location and atrium facing might be a problem, but I think hotels do cater to adjoining room requests due to children/parent combos, etc. Some hotels might just be asshats about it, and things have probably changed over the years (prices up and customer service down), so I am probably wrong. Not to mention for a weekend like Kubla, they don't really need to cater to their customers because the place will sell-out no matter how lame they are to us.
With the economic burning wreck spiral, that may have changed.
WTF do I know, anyhow.
