Yes, if you want to get out and do things, better to go for low or mid range. You don’t want your room to feel like a huge sunk cost.

I tend to default to a midrange place as I'm not much interested in spending a lot of time by the pool. And when traveling on business, if meals weren't being covered, I didn't actually much care for resorts when I felt like a bit of of a prisoner in terms of meals etc.
