Is asking for the best version of my room category for my honeymoon ok?

Reservations

I booked a brief honeymoon / post elopement trip and I’m regretting my hotel choice a bit. It seems like they’re updating little by little and some rooms tend to be cleaner and more updated than others but it’s unclear which rooms. The entire elopement is pretty crappy and sad for me so I was looking forward to the trip and while I’m not picky in general, something like a mildewy uncomfortable mattress could really ruin the honeymoon mood and frankly my planned activities for that bed lol.

I totally understand that they’re in a slow process of updating the place and I don’t want to be rude, but I was thinking of calling ahead and mentioning that it’s my honeymoon and asking for their most recommended room within my category since it appears the rooms have been updated at random. I’m not asking for an upgrade per se since we already booked one of the nicer rooms I kinda just wanna politely ask them to put me in a room that doesn’t feel dirty.

Is this rude if done respectfully?
