Room numbers and associated building and floors

[MOXJO7282]

While I was recently at the Surf Club I notated something that I believe is very useful info when making room requests.

When I check-in and received my room assignment 4813, I was disappointed thinking it was a 4th ffloor unit, the lowest of the oceanview units I believe.

Well much to my surprise 4813/4814 was a 14th floor corner unit, perhaps the very best oceanview unit at the resort.

Noticing the disconnect between the room number and floor location I took video of the elevator room directory. I think the very best way to request a room is by room number, so I'll provide here to for anyone that finds it useful.

You're see it really is a quirky numbering system.

So 4813/14 is 14th floor corner of the Spyglass building. The Spyglass building is actually 2 buidlings in one. It consists of the one building "facing the ocean", and the one to the left, at a right angle.

In the elevator it listed both buildings, because the elevator serviced both SpyGlass "wings". If you went to the right after getting off the elevator, you would go in the section that points to the ocean. If you go left out of the elevators, you're in the section that faces the ocean as we were.

So here it is. One other important aspect of the number the higher the last 2 digits of the room number the closer to the corner it is, so my 4814 was a corner, and 4901 was the closest to the elevator. For some that makes a difference, so its nice to note. The 4901-4814 is not a typo. I don't know why its not 4801, as you see the other others, but that is how it is listed. It might have something to do with the 3BDRM units being located there.

9th 8901-8914 9901-9910
8th 8801-8814 9801-9810
7th 8701-8714 9701-9710
6th 8601-8614 9601-9610
5th 8501-8514 9501-9510
4th 8401-8414 9401-9410
3th 8301-8314 9301-9310
2th 8201-8214 9201-9210

I also have the Lighthouse towers, which I'll list asap.

Thanks Joe.
FYI- the 3 BR units are all in the Compass tower, not in the Spyglass building.

To add to the above: the Lighthouse building (the front building closest to the ocean) is building 6, the Compass building 7, and the Spyglass buildings 8 and 9, as Joe posted. The Lighthouse and Compass buildings have villas on both sides and the Spyglass buildings have villas only facing the pool. In the first two towers poolside villas are off numbered and ones facing North are even numbered.

It is a great idea for future reference to post the villa numbers- thanks!

So the Compass Bldg is where the lobby is?

When I go in the future, I'll use the info here to request the corner SpyGlass oceanview units which should be 14th floor 4813, 12th floor 2813, and so on from my list.

The lobby and Marketplace are in the Compass building.
The Lighthouse room numbers are similar in pattern to what you posted for the other building.
14th floor-4601-4628
12th floor-2601-2628
11th floor-1601-1628
10th floor-6001-6028
9th floor- 6901-6928
8th floor- 6801-6828
7th floor- 6701-6728
6th floor- 6601-6628
5th floor- 6501-6528
4th floor- 6401-6428
3rd floor- 6301-6328
2nd floor- 6201-6228

Anyone have the room numbers for the Compass building to make the list complete?

Room Designations

Does anyone know which rooms/floors are designated as Garden View? Thanks

 

[m61376]

Does anyone know which rooms/floors are designated as Garden View? Thanks

The first 3 floors of rooms (so actually the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors) of the Lighthouse building and the first 3 floors of the side of the Spyglass building that is parallel to the ocean, and the entire side of the Spyglass tower that is perpendicular to the ocean (the units in building "9" in Joe's list).

Thanks m61376 and nygirl. The map is great. My wife and I just traded ownership of our Ocean Club for a Surf Club.

Glad to help.
How did you trade ownership- through Marriott or by selling/buying?

Direct swap between owners.
