Assuming I can't pushback for another location, is the base garden view room 'worse' than the partial ocean view in H-tower? Are all the garden view rooms overlooking the parking lot? Would prefer the truck noise over a parking lot view, but neither would be best. Any advice is very appreciated!
I would suppose how much that ocean view from your room is important to you. When on points your at the whim of the hotel unless you're willing to spend more points / cash. After all these years we try to book what we want then not worry about it on the flight over, maybe another drink !! Good luck and enjoy.
