You might try calling MR and ask about the "no view" rooms and awards. I checked a few other nights that have award availability and the "no view" rooms don't show up. Only the Deluxe and Mountain View Rooms show up for awards (which incidentally cost more $ per night than the no view rooms do.) You might be able to get them to open one of those no view rooms up for awards. It could be they didn't add the no view rooms to the "base" standard room category and need to do so. But they may not know to do that unless someone lets them know it doesn't show up for awards.
