Yes I mistakenly said 46 when I meant 36, now amended.

We've stayed in 26 and 14 twice. I think we slightly prefer 26 as you can easily walk to HH bus stop in the morning, and be straight out of the resort to the parks, and then coming home, you are the first stop!

If I'm on points, and after booking near hospitality house, I'd always ask for 23 to 26. Even the worst room there isn't that bad.
Our first stay was on points - and we got bulding 44. I refused to leave check-in until it had been sorted out. Our last stay was paying cash, and again we had a bad booking and it took half an hour to find us a room on the ground floor.

We're staying cash again this year: where we'll be put is the only thing that is stressing me out. Because we can't get there before 8pm we end up with the dregs. This year, though, we're staying 1 night at GFV on points as OKW didn't have capacity to move us forward one night. So, we'll be able to turn up by 4pm and hopefully have our pick of rooms for once.

I think you are right, turning up after 8 is a good recipe for a 'dregging' 😁
If you get 44 on the right opposite the pool it is great, but 44 on the left? You'd better like noise 18 hours a day!

Here are some photos of the refurbed one beds at OKW, I've already seen them shared by different people on multiple sites, so thought it fine to now also post them here for people who maybe haven't seen them and are wondering what the refurb will look like.
