Help with specific room(s) for OKW

[sweetp267]

I will be visiting my DVC for the second time since buying and already have a res for OKW for May 5-14. Since I am new to OKW, I would like ask the veterans out there a couple of things I can use as requests.

1. I need a smoking room

2. Can I get a smoking room that looks over the golf course?

3. With #2 I would like to get close to the main pool and restaurant area as well.

4 With #2 and 3, would any of those rooms have been recently renovated? I heard that some rooms had new appliances and generally looked almost brand new.

5. With #2, 3, and 4, could I get a dedicated 2BR on the 1st floor.

I know that this is alot to ask, but I feel that there are a few experts out there that could fill most of what I asked.

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Jon

I saved a post from WebMasterDoc that gives the layout of the rooms and buildings at OKW. I can't find the post anymore so I will just copy the info here. It looks like you can get everything you want in building 12 or 25. I don't know about the renovations.

OKW Building Configuration Summary
I spent a couple of hours last week doing a survey of the buildings at OKW. There are seven different configurations. I have assigned a letter designation to each type described below (these are my own observations and are NOT official.) All room rooms are numbered from right to left as you look at the building from the parking area. Each floor will be numbered by building number, floor and room. The studio on the lower right first floor of building 16 is #1610. The 1BR next door is #1611.

GV's are found in Buildings 15,16,19,22,25,29,43,48,49,51,53 and 63.

Here's an OKW map:

I believe all the buildings under 30 have been recently renovated. I think you are better off listing your requests in words rather than building #'s because parts of some buildings face the golf course, part face water. This maybe a case where you might want to send a fax to the room controller 5 days before explaining what you are looking for.
