I'm a little confused. I know standards are slightly bigger (by how much, not sure), but you don't get to request a savannah view with standard. So where is the draw and why are they more points? I would think value is better, at least you can hope for a savanna view even though you may not get it. Is it really because its a slightly bigger room that standard is better?
In Lisa's absence, I'll take a shot.
Standard rooms at Jambo are pool view rooms. The ONLY parking lot view rooms at Jambo are value rooms (and not many of them). At Kidani, theStandards will be pool, garden, or parking lot views, and Kidani won't have value rooms.
With the studios, the difference is mostly about size right now, with some consideration of guaranteed view. A Standard studio, at Jambo, is about 50 sq ft larger than the value. While you're right...with value you might get savannah view, you also might get parking lot view,. Standard assures you, at Jambo, you'll have a pool view.
With 1BR's and larger, the difference is about sleeping capacity, size, AND guaranteed view. For Standards, with a 1BR you can sleep 5, with a 2 BR you can sleep 9. The values sleep 4 and 8, respectively. The difference in size is about 80 sq ft on the 1BR and 130 sq ft on the 2BR. The same view rules apply noted above, I think (Lisa can cofirm), though I seem to remember that most of the parking lot view value rooms are studios.
Once Kidani opens, you'll throw in the other aspect of "location" being a concern. There will ONLY be standard and savannah view rooms at Kidani, so if you want to stay in the new building...that will be the reason you'll want to "pay" more points for a Standard.
