I always request non-smoking and as high up as possible. I've always gotten that. Now the really funny thing is.....our first stay at BWV in Aug '04 we had studio 5063...loved it. It was on the top floor, above Muscles and Bustles. Great view of the village green and the lake/boardwalk. So, I check in last week, Nov 30, and I get the exact same room!!! Incredible.
