The standard view rooms are just the lower-floor rooms. The first floor is entirely standard view...and standard views go all the way up to the 4th or 5th floors...There are some lake view rooms on floors 2 and up and some MK view rooms on floor 3 and up.
The standard view rooms aren't bad views... at all... IMO, there are really no bad views in all of BLT. Even the rooms above the maintenance areas...you can only see those if you look down...if you are looking on your balcony, you are actually seeing the contemporary, it's pools, the lakes, etc. Just don't look down :-D
