Yes standard rooms do not have the best views. But they are not only lake view, they are in the front too. Those are parking lot views. Generally most standard rooms are ground or second floor, but there are some on the tennis court/dumpster side that go up a few more floors. As a general rule there are not many standard rooms so go very quickly, generally gone well before the 7 month window. I bought a small contract at BLT just to book the standard rooms because of the lack of availability.
