This year, we booked same type of room and requested for 1st flr room so we'll be closer to the indoor pool but ended up being assigned to a 5th floor room with view of parking lot. Other than that, location was convenient as it's next to the aquarium. Though we might reconsider staying in another hotel next year we go back to the area."
