Hello all...long time lurker, first time poster so please be gentle. I have a question about on-line check in versus regular check in with longhouse requests.
I am staying at the Poly next month for the second year in a row.
Last year was a trip with my immediate family. I did not know to request a specific Longhouse so I just requested (by phone)for an early arrival and a room near the pool. I also used the on-line check in feature. When we arrived at 9:00 AM, our packet was ready as was a room. Tuvualu Longhouse which worked out great.
This year we are traveling with a group of 11 (3 different rooms). I have requested Longhouses (one as first choice and another as back up), an early arrival, first floor accomidations and adjoining or rooms close together.
If we use the on-line check in feature, does the Poly CM's consider these requests when placing us in the rooms? Or would we be better served using the normal check in? I would think the time saved with on-line check in would be worth the trouble alone, but I wonder if they will be placing us in a Longhouse just to fill a spot with an early morning arrival - with out taking into consideration the requests. Does anyone have a guess as to which would be best?
thanks in advance.
