As you´re paying for a suite, you could ask nicely to see whether they have a suite with a patio/balcony available.
Also, occupancy in Oct./Nov. shouldn´t be as high as in the summer so you may be successful.

On a related note, if you were using upgrade certs:
There are only very few rooms with a patio/balcony (called "signature rooms"), upgrading to those is very hard if not impossible.
You may have a chance to upgrade to a suite with a balcony/patio when using a suite upgrade cert (I think there´s only one type of suite with a patio that is eligible for upgrades after their current rebranding of suites.)
