Perhaps RH is slightly more reticent to upgrade to their ocean view suites.

Staff told us that the tower is currently being renovated but its a slow process and they are going floor by floor. I think its from the top floor down. I would stay away from the tower until its renovated.
I believe an ocean front suite is not a select standard suite, and I also recall the Lurkers advise that any room desribed with 'ocean' in it when it comes to Honolulu, is not a standard room in any instance. However generally the RH upgrades PLTs to either a garden view suite or an ocean front room in the tower.
