I need a first floor room or an elevator room because I cannot do stairs (as per the doctor). In all the buildings (at least 14) we have stayed in, I don't recall ever having a "bad" view on the first floor. Views can vary - woods, golf course, fountains in the water, canal, etc. none have ever been "bad."
Also, once we are in our OKW unit, I don't recall hearing a lot of noise outside the unit.
