No one can really tell you how YOU will react. How much will you actually save, versus the entire cost of your vacation?? How much time do you spend in your room? How often do you go per year? If you normally go 2 times a year and staying someplace cheaper would allow you to go 3, then that might be a big deal. To ME, it's REALLY important what my view is, and I know I personally would be really disappointed if I don't have a view. And we spend a LOT of time in our unit. And I don't want to spend my whole yearly vacation being upset that I didn't spend $400 more for a place that I love. You may be different.
