I see all room types available from 11/9 - 11/14. If you arrive prior to Sunday, or depart later than Friday, it goes down to just the Tapa tower city view. It looks like the full block didn't account for the high number of people who tend to arrive on the Saturday prior, and/or depart the Saturday after.

If you want to stay past Saturday, you appear to be out of luck.

I immediately got online to book the hotel, and as of 12:48 (exactly 3 hours after the announcement), all of the Ocean View rooms are gone as well as the King bed resort view rooms, leaving only the 2 Double Bed  resort view rooms.  Impressive take rate (assuming at least somewhat even distribution between King and DB rooms).
