They are exactly the same. We called a few days ahead of time last stay, because I was really concerned about getting a non-smoking, non-pet room (DH and DS have allergies). The person I spoke with was really nice, and assigned my room right then and there (couldn't tell me the room # until I checked in). But, she asked if I wanted a pool view, and of course I said yes. It was a perfect view of the pool and we could see IOA in the background.
I plan on trying the same thing next trip at HRH.
