A quick review of our stay, just got home yesterday. We were in room 4227, BWI, Club level, Deluxe room. I had requested room 4225 on TP, we got the room next to it. Never saw anyone in room 4225 over our 6 night stay...maybe the room is out of service? Views were amazing, really liked the extra space of the deluxe room, though hubby wasn't as impressed as I thought he would be.
CM's in the Innkeepers Club were great. Always a hello and good bye, as well as the CM staffing the desk. I had requested that our room be cleaned before noon, it always was. Very clean, great personal use products, we didn't lack for anything. One thing though...we had to leave the bathroom door open all the time, while not in use. If it remained closed, it smelled like a gym locker room. I believe it was due to those stupid shower curtain liners. While there was no obvious mold, it was clear the smell was coming from the bunched up liner. We overcame that by leaving the door open all the time, which was a pain, as it opened into the sink area..lots of door shoving going on
.
The chef cooking between 5pm-7pm was an amazing experience. Food was very good, plenty of it. Four different kinds of beer, seven different types of wine to choose from, and I also saw people asking for wine/beer prior to the 5p-7p hours, never any troubles receiving what was asked for. One con though....they need to figure out/install an exhaust system in the club room. During the chef cooking hours, the cooking smells really took over the club room. I'm not bothered by cooking smells generally but the problem was, my clothes/sweatshirt smelled strongly well after we left for dinner. I had to hang my sweatshirts/jeans outside overnight to make them smell fresh again. It was quite noticeable in the immediate hallway too, thankfully I didn't notice it in our room, which was SUPER close the Innkeepers space.
Bus service was very good, even to Disney Springs. I think the only time we picked up/dropped off at the Swan and Dolphin was the Disney Springs transportation. Otherwise, we went direct to MK and AK. We did the Fantasy Fireworks Dessert Party..it was fun being on the water and the view of the MK fireworks were amazing. Would I do it again? Prolly not...neither the liquor selection nor sweets were anything to write home about.
We are going back in March, our first Flower/Garden festival...staying at the Yacht Club, Deluxe room, Club level. Curious to see how it stacks up to this experience!
