I was at BCV in July for 3 days and then at OKW for 4. We had no waits at check-in. No noise from hallways or front walks, no noises from other rooms. My husband said he heard some noise form upstairs at OKW for the first day; I never noticed. No noise from pools, despite nice views. No trouble at all. Hope this is the case for you on your first trip "home." Congratulations!
