If you go to my site (see link below and go to travel) you can see a map of the facility. Be sure to click where it says original size then you can read the building and room numbers. Most all the units are not smoking. The legend on the map will tell you which few are not non-smoking. I haven't stayed in Villas 2 but have walked the entire area. Villas 628 & 619 would be quiet and peaceful but it is further from the hotel. They do have shuttle service the runs about every 30 minutes. But its not that far of a walk. IF you have never stayed there dont do the pre-check in. At regular check in you can get info on the resort. I believe pre-check in is that the guard at the entrance will give you your keys rather than at the front desk.
Things to do & eat; swap meet at local college, lots of unique items; the living desert zoo; gambling at Indian Casino (18 & older at Morango); tram to top of mountain where there is snow this time of year; shopping; River Walk for lots of restaurtants and great movie theater; street fair in downtown Palm Springs on Thursday nights. Lots of good restaurants. Tennis, golf, swimming, spas, saunas, exercising. Maybe others can suggest a few things. Have fun its a great place especially this time of year as it gets warmer. My teenage girls love it ! We are going back in April. You could also drive to Disneyland if you wanted. Its less than 2 hours away.
