Secured a Governor's Suite (one of several), oceanfront, for a one-night stay on a government rate. My Private Line agent contacted the hotel. The suite is spacious, with a dining/living room that juts out towards the pool, plus a patio facing the ocean. My suite was on the 2nd floor of the 4-story structure, higher levels (such as the RC level) being unavailable. The 1st floor suites would be quite bad, with shrubbery hiding views.

Around 10% of the hotel's rooms are suites, but less than half are oceanfront because of the hotel's sideways "E" design with the oceanfronts at the tips of the E. The oceanfronts are directly above the Pacific Coast Highway, and some distance from the surf, but road noise is relatively muffled and I do prefer this location overall.
