Quick review from our recent 6 night stay at Cheyenne. Our 4th stay at cheyenne, first time at Wyatt Earp. Room 1824 which meant we came out of room, out through the rear entrance/exit door and we were right by the shuttle drop off point.
Noticed in the hotel that they have phone charging points, the ones where you pay per 5 minutes, I think it was one euro for 5 mins, the set up is almost like a little safe so you pop your phone in pay, take the key. There was a cabinet of about 6, I think each compartment was a different make eg Blackberry, Samsung etc. Only one pay per use internet PC there now, but still several telephones.
Usual set up double and bunks, as there's no aircon we had window open and ceiling fan on all the time we were in the room and it did a reasonable job of keeping the room cool. We had 2 bedside lamps not working, a leaky tap and a temperamental tv, but we do only use the room to sleep and shower, so I didnt bother to mention it. We had a kettle in the room secured to the desk, so obviously meant to be there and extra pillows and towels were left when I requested them. Ice is plentiful from the machine in the launderette, but there's no ice bucket in the room, I used a carrier bag inside the bin as we were only using it to keep cans and bottles of soft drinks cool. There is a soft drink dispenser in the launderette too, 3 euros for a can! We spent a lot of money on soft drinks, much cheaper if you can remember to get them from the Relay shop at the station or pop into Auchan.
Found it quite noisy at night. Because we were so near to reception we constantly had the noise of trolley cases passing by and the music plays at the saloon until midnight, added to this with Dreams being so late and people arriving back in the park, it was impossible to sleep before 12.30pm. With the windows closed this probably wouldn't be so much of a problem.
Had 7.30 breakfast slots, never made it there before 8, but no problem going in late or getting a table. Usual selection, I wish they would get rid of the free for all yoghurt and bring back individual pots. No GMF breakfasts the week we were there
We ate our evening meal at the Cheyenne one night too and it was one of the boys' favourite meals, I didn't eat a lot that night to be honest, but the buffet did seem well stocked, I had pork chops, veg and mashed potato, everyone else had a bit of everything, a lot of everything actually especially the desserts ! I on the other hand was really glad to see some fresh fruit and had an orange, a pear, some grapes and 2 apples that I took back to the room.
You get a wristband and a voucher for a drink to be redeemed at the bar and they stress over and over that you can have as much food as you want and go up as many times as you want. Every now and then the CM's break into line dancing encouraging the kids to join in with them, which is nice.
Ponies were out in the morning and the rides seemed popular.
Cheyenne will always a favourite of mine, but it is in need of some TLC, I hope it's on the list for a refurb and wifi ASAP please
