Everyone has their thing-- I find it very frustrating when housekeeping is not "on it." We tip very well with housekeeping to try to encourage them, although we have found that tipping seems to have nothing to do with performance! We returned home late Friday night from an excellent houskeeping experience at POR. There were some slight imperfections (i.e. I used a wipe that I brought from home to completely clean the inside of the refridgerator when we arrived), but our sheets were changed every day. I say changed because they were white and my kids would always get something on them like a dot of chocolate which would drive me crazy and every day the beds would be pristine again. The extra fold up bed was also completely redone every day. This seemed above and beyond to me but it was very nice. All very early in the day. Some days we were already back at the room for a mid day break around 12:30 and we were surprised to find the rooms already done. We always had extra towels, given new shampoo and soap every day. I always wipe down surfaces with wipes so I am not sure about whether or not that was done. We have learned over the years to call in to housekeeping if we do not receive things. And also to call if the room is not done by a certain time. We are gentle when we call but we do call. We learned this after our last time staying at GF about 6 years ago where the housekeeping was just awful. The room was never done until around 5pm and you are actually supposed to have turn down service there, or you were about 6 years ago, because the year before we had stayed there and there was turn down service. Well, we did not get it that year because we did not even have housekeeping at all until the evening! And it wasn't great either. Now my husband will never stay there again because of that housekeeping exerience, even though i think it was a bit random and had nothing to do with the particular resort. We did around day 3 ask the housekeeper if she could get to the room earlier and she got very upset with us and told us that she worked at all star in the morning and came to do rooms at GF later in the day. Very strange situation. We felt badly for her and never complained, but that experience was a turning point for us. We realized after just dealing with it during the vacation that we would have been better off complaining and that maybe she would have been better off because obviously her working conditions needed to be addressed. But I am more proactive now and call at the first instance of something being off. I do not want my husband to cross any more resorts off our list! Last summer at BC they forgot shAmpoo etc one day and I called housekeeping right away. Ten minutes later they were at our room with a bag of the stuff! Very pleasant about it too.
