Dear Sue! Sorry we missed you! We got back yesterday. We were in room 5532. I requested top floor, non-smoking, non handicapped and with a balcony that had railings. We were also pretty close to elevators. It was overlooking the woods, with a partial view of a road. Never once did I see anything on the road, but I could hear a bus occasionally. My DH ran every morning and really liked our room. He needed the serenity and got it !!!!! Our room was at a corner so that our balcony could see the gutters of part of the "L" in the roof, but it really was fine. Since this was our first time at VWL, we aren't experts but we were very happy. It was just DH, DD and myself. My DH just now commented that we probably didn't need the 1BR, but each of us had our own space.( No one fought over a TV- DD and DH each had their own!)
As an aside, after our trip to VWL, we had to extend our stay and I got into the PO- French Quarter. The resort itself is very cute but when we opened the door to our room, all of us had to pick up our jaws off the floor. Once in a 1BR, it's incredibily hard to go to a regular room again. The unconvinced DH said " I'd never want to stay in a regular room again!"
Our trip was great! I can't wait to get to VWL in December, this time without the heat! Diane
