A lot of families with kids prefer the rooms closer to the pool. I have been in 50's, bldgs 1 and 2, both on the back side..one ground level (bldg 1) and the other level 3 (bldg 2). The level 3 room was way at the end of the bldg..if you look at each bldg as a T, I was at the very bottom of the T. That room was incredibly quiet. I've been in the 80's bldg, back side, ground level, again very quiet. My favorite room was 4441 in the 60's section. It faced the lake and was wonderful. Yes, it was a bit longer to the food court and bus stops, but not a huge deal..not after staying in the boonies at POR-AB!!!
