I always ask for a room by the tennis courts which are right next to the waterway that goes to MGM. The rooms are a long walk from the elevators but you are away from the hustle and buslte of the front enterance and you will have a very nice view of the waterway and the friendship boats, the TOT, various ducks and other birds, etc. For a standard view point cost it is a very nice view. After you make the initial long trek from the elevators the first time the walk doesn't seem too bad and very often we will use one of the back enterances when we are coming back from MGM.
