As I'm sure you know, the property is not on the ocean or beach, but only a block or two away. Further, the architecture of the building is not conducive to ocean views. And even the balconies have high walls so that to enjoy whatever view (I think I once had a partial view of the ocean) you have to stand up to see the view over the wall. If it is as important to you as it sounds, you should call the hotel and speak to a manager; maybe the gm, or front desk manager, or room controller (if the property has one.)
