Stayed there in October 2007, but I cannot help with room request. Our room was in an older building and was fine, and you can always ask about a new building when you check in. There is limited food on property which we did not use, as we cooked breakfast in the room and ate dinners out. I will give kudos to service, as I left a pair of shoes there and was able to pick them up last month. FWIW.
