Just got back too! I was also in the 60's. lakeside..next to 50's, around the corner from the Play Doh icon. I loved it over there, hardly any "traffic", quiet, first floor...had a bench nearby and a great view at a value.
Yes....the eerily vacant, deserted building....kind of ruined the great view!! It really appears to be on someones back burner!!!! The bridge was great, hardly saw anyone there...have great photos.
First time at POP....it really is a gem....everything you need, unless you crave all the extra amenities I barely have time to utilize.
This is my plan for next time....I will pay preferred, cause I want the 60's...will get connecting rooms for family...request poolside...if you noticed, all you have to do is take a few steps from your room...and there are the table/chairs/umbrella...a faux patio if you will. I just imagined morning having breakfast there, right outside your room,..however, am still concerned abt night time and late night pool revelers....in the summer...anyone have any experience with this?
If you plan it right here, you can go "deluxe" and pay value!! I know its a stretch...lol...After staying at POP, I just cant see going back to deluxe and putting all that $$$$ into 4 walls and a door

I know many will disagree....but I'd rather have 2 rooms here and extra $$ to spend than 1 deluxe room w/1 restroom with a 14, 11 and 2 yr old next year
Sorry if I got off topic.....
