We also wanted a standard room and I specifically requested a room near the lobby. We were allocated a deluxe 5th floor room which was bang near the lobby and lifts (ideal for us) but had a "view" of the valet park and trees!! This wasnt a concern for us as being near the lobby was our number 1 priority but if you DO want a view avoid rooms 5101-5106.
I did ask about another room (on the concierge floor) but they wanted too much to upgrade, but did have non deluxe savannah views available for us (no extra charge), but they were miles away. One poor woman I got talking to said it took her 40 minutes to get to her room from the lobby (she was elderly and didnt walk too well). Being 5 months pregnant and with 2 very small children in tow, I stuck with our "crap view but near everything" room!!! The Savannahs left me cold to be honest and it wasnt something I wanted to look at for 2 weeks, but I realise Im in the very small minority about that!!
