I wouldn't make any request for a standard room. Many (most?) guests with a standard view room receive an upgrade. I'd be afraid making a request might be interpreted as wanting that specific room, maybe you want a room near the lobby, and might preclude an upgrade that would be a long walk from the lobby.

edited to say the only request I'd make would be if I needed a handicap accessible room or maybe a smoking optional room.

I agree with Lewisc (above poster). Don't make a request for a standard view room. There are only 135 standards out of 1200+ rooms. If you don't make a request I would think there is a better chance for an upgrade. We did not request a particular standard (except non-smoking) and we were upgraded to a very nice pool view at check in.

I agree with the other posters. I would not make any requests. I would think your chances of being upgraded are better without any specific requests. Of course, I tried that and I still ended up with a standard room, but that's what I paid for and an upgrade would have just been the icing on the cake.
