We love the buildings at Turtle pond area....especially 33/36/37....we have had great views, short walk to the bus stop, easy access to Turtle Pond Pool, and really only a 7 minute walk to the main area.
The only building we stayed in and disliked was #29. We happened to be on the bottom studio near the street....very loud.

There are several really good buildings at OKW (IMO) I like buildings 30 to 35 because they are very close to the Turtle Pond bus stop, but really have very little bus noise. Building 55 has a very nice canal view, as does 45 and 46. I didn;t really care for bldg 29, not a great view and bus noise.
A lot also depends upon the type of unit you'll be staying in. Studios are usually placed on the end of the buildings, so studios rarely have a great view and are often noisier than one , 2 or 3 bedroom units. Studios in the cross beam of U shaped buildings often have a better view, from the patio, but also do not have any front windows.
Hmm. Someone else warred me about buildng 29. And from the map, it doesn't look like it's in the best spot. Isn't that the building that supposedly has a golf course view but the trees are so tall, you cannot see the course?

But to be honest I've very seldom made requests, We've stayed all over and we've never been disappointed. Luckily, I've never landed in # 29!!!!
Thanks everyone for your input. I've never requested a specific building, but I like to know which ones to avoid in case that's where I'm assigned!
29 will not work. The bus noise will drive me crazy. In fact, I crossed that off the map we were given last year due to the proximity to the road.
We were in building 52 last trip. Great location. Close to the bus stop. Except it wasn't great when we were inside and could hear the bus coming, braking, stopping, accelerating. Not enjoyable when you're sleeping in.
We own at SSR, and I have to say, no matter where we've stayed, bus noise was never a problem. Now, people in the hot tub at 2 a.m.. . . . .that's another story for another thread.
. We have stayed in GV's before in Bldgs 48 which had a nice view and close to bus stop which was nice and Bldg 15 which also had a good view and a relatively short walk to the hospitality house.
Staying at OKW for the first time this December in a studio which building should I stay for the best bus service?
