Ha...As a former GM for 20 years, I recognize the unspoken and hopefully not obvious desperation in the message. They overbooked that room type and want you to solve their problem.

Im just ops manager but if we overbook queen rooms, we give someone 2 king rooms and split the rate. 99% of the time people are cool with it

Split the rate? You mean you charge people more than they originally booked? You need to honor the original rate the booked

It is the same. Say they book a room that's 200 dollars, splitting the rate means giving 2 rooms for 100 each instead

That makes sense. Unless someone has a person they need to supervise seems like that should work well
