Thanks for the warning.
I made my reservation and yes, the two double bed room was all that I was
offered.
And Sun Nov 16 was reported as sold out when it offered to let me "extend my
stay". That seems really odd, as anyone staying in the room block who was
staying to Sunday would be staying to Saturday as well and Saturday was noted
as available. The "holiday postIETF" suggestions on the IETF hotel page point
to the same reservation page for the venue hotel, and trying to do a new
reservation for the following week shows that Nov 17-20 is available, but not
Sunday Nov 16.
I expect that the Secretariat will do their usual wonderful job of working with
the hotel to extend the room block. They have already noted that you can email
them to upgrade your room to a better view.

I saw the email for the Hawaii IETF registration when I got home about 30
minutes ago. 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).
I wouldn't be surprised to find the block filled by sometime tomorrow.
