I paid extra for a suite with a sea view and they gave me one on the other side. They did change it when I asked (had to lug my bag back to the reception area), and the new room did have a sea view, but it was very hot when I went into it. They were able to adjust the temperature, and it cooled down, so all was well in the end.
