we had the second floor back of hotel and it was really quiet. I am asking for that again for our next trip. It's a great hotel I am sure you will like it
Our experience has been very good so far. This October will be our 4th stay at PVI this year. As for room location I would agree with the others; 2nd floor and toward the back, if any noise is going to be an issue.
We were there end of July/early August and also had a second story room. We were near the stairs and a meeting room and it was still pretty quiet. We will stay here again when we don't stay onsite.
We always ask for second (top) floor near the back, and have always been around there. I think it depends on what floor plan you are getting. The breakfast room is upstairs too, but near the front. And there is no elevator on the property.
