We were in room 5175, water view room with 2 queen beds, sofa & shower/tub combo. I took some view pictures in case you need this room for the view thread Dee.
These look left, center, right & straight down. The room is only 3 rooms from the lounge prep area & 4 rooms from the lounge. It was surprisingly quiet & we did not hear much hall noise at all. The room was clean & we had no issues with the room. I still don’t like the higher beds. Wasn’t a problem the first day or so, but after that, it was annoying to have to climb up into the bed when I was tired & sore after a day in the park. I read you can ask for a step stool, but I am afraid I would trip on that in the middle of the night so didn’t even ask about that. A poster a few weeks ago said she had no hot water but we had great hot water & water pressure. I’m not big on the rain shower so I used the hand held shower head as a regular shower which worked well for a short person like me.
We had no room checks other than housekeeping. We were back at he resort about 2 pm every day. One day our room was being cleaned when we came back so we hung in the lounge for a few minutes. Another day, the housekeeping cart was in the hall & our door was slightly ajar. We figured housekeeping was still in there, so we went to the lounge again. Waited a few minutes & went back. The cart was moved but our door was still ajar!
We were missing a bar soap so I think the housekeeper went to get it, probably got interrupted & just forgot to go back. We had everything locked up & put away so I knew nothing would be taken. Still a little unsettling. This is the first time anything like that has ever happened in about 20 years of staying at the YC. I did not mention it to anyone at the time but I will mention it if I get a survey.
As a side note to that, we spent our last night in a first floor water view room at the BC because YC was full that night. We haven’t stayed at BC or even a regular room in years. We were in a first floor room next to the quiet pool. Room was not ready until 5pm. When it was ready, we just quick got our luggage & then headed to our dinner adr. When we came back we pulled the curtains & didn’t look out again. Next morning I went to step out & check out the patio & view. That’s when I saw that neither the lock nor the latch were secured!!
I know I should have checked, but not having stayed in a ground floor room ever at BC that I remember, it just never occurred to me that the patio might not be locked. All the rooms I have been in on the 5th floor have always been locked & latched. Lesson learned!
