My very favorite room that I've stayed in was on the fifth floor, south side, all the way out to the end of the building facing the lake. It was such a peaceful view that I spent a lot more time on the balcony than I usually did. I also like the upper courtyard view. You can see the geyser and the pool, but it's not as noisy. I've had otter pond views several times, and they're good, plus they're closer to the boat dock and convenient to Roaring Forks. I don't think I've really had a bad room at WL, although I'm not overly fond of the enclosed balconies on the top floor. I like to sit and enjoy the view, not stand.
