SSR section request?

[robandkelly13]

We will be staying at SSR for the first time and I would like to stay where we have a nice view. What are the best views and what section/room should I request to get your suggested view? We're thinking a view of Downtown Disney would be nice. Has anyone stayed with this view? What did you think and which section/room should we request to get this view? Thanks so much for your help!

We recently stayed in the Springs section rooms 4323 & 4325. 4323 was the worst. There was a very foul smell in the room that seemed to linger forever. The beds were way too hard in both rooms and when I opened the door between the two rooms 4325 started to smell after awhile too. I tried to air out both rooms for about 4 hours and smell still hung around. I'm willing to give SSR another try because the grounds and buildings are so beautiful but I'm no fan of the Springs section.

One other thing I noticed in both rooms, the pull-out couch/bed seemed really worn. The couch backing pillows were in pretty bad condition and I could actually see the hard bars for the pull-out bed. Is Springs an older section? Might be time to replace those couch backings or something.
