We're booked at Welk Escondido for late January. Assuming we might be able to ask for a location, what are the good 2BR units? Also, do the units have a room safe?
The Lawrence Welk Villas (the older section) have been remodeled, so they are in great shape. They are definitely more roomy than either the Villas on the Green or the Mountain Villas. One big difference is they are all 2 BR with no lock-offs.
I think you mentioned you are in unit 165. If that is the case, you are in the Ramona building, which is a smaller two story building that is the first one you come to as you enter this section of the older villas. There are no other buildings immediately by you, but you are on the corner by the main road going to the other portions of the resort villas. Probably not a big issue. One advantage is you have a view over a par 3 on the golf course as well as the towne center where the lobby, theatre and small shopping area are. Pretty centrally located with good access to the various pools on site.
One note, these are fixed week units, so you can't request another unit.
Have a great time! We love this resort and have been going there for 25 years.
