Well, it was during Covid and the bonus journeys promo at that time was an extra elite night credit for each night's stay. I decided to mattress run my way to Globalist so I'd need 30 nights to get 60 elite night credits. I booked a stay that spanned December into January so my checkout would be January 2021 and I'd earn Globalist for the rest of that year, the following year and into February 2023.
I canceled my DVC stays for every weekend and just stayed at the Hyatt where I was doing the mattress run. I left my luggage there and all my stuff, so no need to pack when we drove up each weekend. It was great!
I think the rate at that time was about $30 a night or less due to low occupancy during covid. So all in for that mattress run was less than the cost of 3 nights at All Star Music the first weekend in October of this year
The same mattress run for the same dates at the same Hyatt, would be well over $5,000 now.
But yeah, with housekeeping each day, I doubt anything needing repairs would be overlooked. Personally, I'd want to opt out of housekeeping if I could and not take the chance the same person is cleaning and notices I am not there because the bed is untouched. Then show up every few days and make my presence known.
