I love it cause it's so small and I've been happy with every room we've gotten. However, is there a "better" room location? We've got a garden view already.
I think since it's such a more compact resort there really can't be a terrible building there. We were in Building 6 Riverview in February. If there's something specific you want - ask for it. I faxed a request to POFQ about 5 days prior to our arrival. Check out www.portorleans.org They have some great suggestions on room requests etc.
Honestly the resort is so small compared to the other moderates, any building is great! I have stayed in Building 1 and Building 6 and both were only a few minutes to walk to the pool or main building. I noticed Building 4 and 5 are very close to everything!
Building 5 is "fire", as the young folks say these days. Our room was about a 10 second walk to the pool and water taxi dock, and maybe a minute from the food court. Loved it!
We were in building 7 on the third floor and it was great for us! Far away from the noise and the daily little walk to the bus stop or dock really let us clear our heads before the madness!
