On check out day your room key will work at the pool all day.

Will the hotel hold onto our luggage beyond the check out time?

 

[dnamertz]

It is my understanding that it's only registered guests. However, if you have not filled your room to capacity (5) you should be able to register the child to your room

If there are 5 of us registered to the room, but not all of us will be at the pool, can this other guest take their place at the pool? Do you only need a room key to enter the pool area?

Yes they will, at the bell desk.

The pools are registered guests only(their rules) and they will need a room key to go thru the entrance.

On the day of check-in, how early can we begin using the pool, and on the day of check-out how late can we use the pool? Also, would we be able to bring another child to the pool with us (a family friend who will be staying at another hotel)...or do they only allow the registered guests to use the pool?

On check out day they have told us that we can use the pool until we are ready to leave. We usually stay until 4pm then change in the bathrooms. Bell services keeps our luggage until we are ready to depart.

Anyone ever get to the GHC and there were no rooms (overbooked)? If so....what happened......just curious......I'm staying in oct and looks like it's sold out!

Can anyone let me know what the current style of coffee maker is in the rooms? I want to bring my own coffee, filter, etc. but not sure what to prefer for. Thanks!!

Currently here at DL. Checked into GCH. We arrived yesterday morning at 10:00 and were immediately able to check in. Everyone here at the hotel has been very friendly and helpful. No issues with the room. We are very close to the lobby on the fourth floor.

The Cuisinart pod coffee makers are not very good

Thanks!! For the pic Shucks, that's the same on as last year and I agree, it's not very good.

While being not very good , it is still coffee and not sucking extra bucks out of your pocket from starbucks, etc. We will be there on this coming Sunday for Dapper Day lead up week.

We just use it for hot water and bring Via Singles with us. It's not brewed coffee, but it's pretty good and works out well that early in the morning!

THis. I use it every time I'm there. If I could freebase coffee, I probably would.

We do exactly the same.

Staying in standard view club level mid Oct for a couple of nights.
Can any of you experts give me insight on what to expect room view wise? I am also curious of the proximity of the rooms to the lounge. We will have a queen bed with bunk configuration if that makes any difference.

The lounge is on the 6th floor, with a stairs to the 5th near the lounge entrance. Concierge guests will most often be assigned to those upper floors. I had a bunk bed room on the 6th floor (above Storytellers) with a view of the pools and DCA, classified as a Concierge Theme Park View. The lounge looks into the Brisa Courtyard, so the nearest concierge rooms will also look into the courtyard.

You have 3 requirements (bunk beds, lounge proximity, view), so make it clear to the CM when checking in which are most important

nonsuch thank you!
If we have a standard view I'm pretty certain we wont have a view of the pool and DCA, right?

Got my worst view I've ever had. View of the valet area (x243). Can't complain because the price was right for Dapper day, but other's with my room arrangement got pool views. Bully for them. I definitely hope I never get this view again.
