Put in the dates 11/28 - 12/3 ad you will not see any 40K rooms ( the max rate at that time of year nad thye ar ealso not honoring 5th night free

I booked 11/28 - 12/3 two months ago for 160K, today same room and dates 236,595 points

I did find that by calling the Diamond Desk AXON 7 are still available for 190K/4 nights
You didn't specify a date when you initially posted.
Look at May 1 -12, 2015 there is an 2Q accessible room available for 40,000.
I just searched 11/28 - 12/2 and there is a 2Q accessible room available for 40,000 per nite.
Reservation Summary

STANDARD ROOM REWARD
Standard Room Rewards allow HHonors members to use points to book... Rate Details Not commissionable 40,000HHonors Points
Hotel won't care if you book the accessible room (and in some cases the FD when I check in understands why I booked as it was the lowest cost room in points). Just let them know either ahead of time or even when you arrive that you don't need the accessible room and they may (usually will, in my experience, move you to another nonaccessible room).
