Still Moving People at Boardwalk Villas

We checked into BWV last Saturday and leave this Saturday. Had a standard view Studio booked but got moved to a P/G view which was fantastic. Lots of work on the BW view rooms still it seems - especially the exterior w scaffolding the last few days.
If I may ask, did you get moved at check-in or were you notified ahead of time?
We arrive 5/10 with a Std Studio for 9 nights and are more than a bit curious. Thanks

We had 7 nights all in - did the online check in and was never formally notified - when we got our room around 430pm last Saturday that was our room assignment w that category.

The exterior scaffolding was on the Boardwalk side of the exterior when I was there last December. Seems weird that it's still there, or have they come back? I'm guessing no one really knows, but I'm certainly curious. We have a standard studio booked beginning May 5th. We haven't been notified of a move.

When we got here last Sat there was no exterior scaffolding. By Tuesday they had put it all up.
 
Snagged a photo now for those curious
Is the work confined to that one section of Boardwalk rooms right now?

Although since people are being moved through May I’d guess they’ll be moving down the row maybe doing one section at a time and not having rooms in the section being worked on occupied?
 
looks like some extension exterior work. I wonder if they found some rot when refurbing the insides.

That section was stucco rather than siding. Looks like they’re replacing the old stucco, I can’t tell from photos I’ve seen whether new stucco or siding or what. I hope it will still have the different character from the rest of that side!
 
I'm checking in to standard view studio in four days (May 5th). As far as I know, I haven't been moved. I have two reservations for a continuing stay from May 5-10, and they both still show a standard view studio. Maybe the moving has stopped.

I got moved from my Boardwalk view room booked 11 months out to a regular room on the Inn side with a water view.

When was this? Did you know ahead of time, or did you find out when you checked in?
 
Is anyone on these boards at the Boardwalk now? If so, are the hallways to the Standard View rooms still blocked about halfway down the hallway, or is the hallway completely open now?
 
I got a call a week or so ago. My reservation is in a few weeks.
Thanks for the info. I assume that it's a little late for me to get a call. If I get moved, it will probably have to be at check-in.

I’m here now. Staying standard. Yes the hall is still blocked starting around room 1123, 2123, 3123, etc. there is very little to no work being done on that last wing section. It’s the section that is closest to the hot tub area and that end hall door is blocked too. You can go in the corner door. I counted and it appears around 50+ rooms are out of inventory. (1 bedrooms and studios, both standard and P&G view). Top court the entire section of BW view is still scaffolded and being worked on too.

I left yesterday and the area surrounding that last wing by the quiet pool had the barricade come down (outside on the lawn). I actually saw someone sitting on one of the 2nd floor balconies in that wing facing the quiet pool. 4th floor still had that hallways blocked off, but didn't check the other floors.

on another note - we had a 2 bd std for 2 nights (only there for the weekend). Friday night around 10pm, we found the bathroom light in the studio portion wasn't working. called maintenance, turned out there was a short somewhere in the system and it took most of the electrical outlets in the studio down. BWV gave us another studio for that portion of our party (which sucked because we booked a 2-bd 11 months ago for a family weekend and were all separated anyway. :sad: ).
Was told by the maintenance folks that a lot of corners were cut during renovation - the hotel is STILL waiting for the contractor to give them the electrical schematics of the wiring, some of it is wrong and not following what they expected. Our member fees at work :crazy2:
BWV did fix the issue promptly the next day, but since we were only there 2 nights to begin with, the kids had left their bags in the living room and it removed some of the magic. Hopefully nobody else has this kind of drama in the new renovated rooms!!!
