I was there in January - agree - you probably won;t get anything fantastic. I actually booked an ocean view to be sure and didn't get one ! When I arrived, they said they had me in a smoking...I said no, reservation (showing them) has NS "guaranteed". "Sorry, no NS ocean view Kings"
They came back and said, "we were able to upgrade you to suite." Problem was, the suite, ( 2 connecting rooms) was not ocean view.
I said, "Thanks, BUT...I can get suite at almost any Marriott, Ocean view is another story - I'd like what I purchased/booked". Had to wait overnight to get moved to an ocean view double, as no Kings were available.
I think you're best to have low expectations and hope for a surprise
