I was considering placing an order for food delivery from Vons for our trip in December. We are staying at HoJo. How does that work, is it delievered to our room? Can we order before we leave? Is there a better place to order from? I have just heard about Vons on here. Thank you!
 
It's super-easy! I've done it before, and am doing it for my trip this week. You just place the order on the Vons site, and use the Hojo's address. When you are checking out, there is a place to put a note for your driver, and I just say to please deliver to the hotel, and they will expect an order from me. Then I just call the hotel a day or two ahead of time to let them know it is coming. The last time I did this, my delivery ws up in my room, and all the perishables were in the fridge when we got back to the hotel.
 
We used Von's last year to great success. We registered two weeks before we left. They gave us a coupon a few days later for free delivery for orders over $50. We ordered what we wanted and at the checkout, you can pick you delivery window. The front desk will hold it for you. If you have cold items, most hotels will refridgerate it
 
I had considered doing this but I thought I had to wait around in my hotel room for the delivery, which didn't work for me. Who wants to sit around a hotel room when you could be at DL?

If this is how it works I'll definately do it! Thanks for asking.
 

Our flight did not land until 9:00 pm. The last window of delivery was 8;00-900. They left it at the front desk and it was waiting for us!
 
We have ordered from Vons twice. There is a $50 minimum. If you sign up as new account you get free delivery, just use "easy7" as the discount code at checkout.

When we stayed at the DoubleTree, the bell captain took the items to our room and put cold items in the frig. I made sure I found him and gave him a tip.

When we stayed at the GCH the groceries were at the baggage check area down stairs. I had to request that they be delivered to our room.

We did this last week. It worked well, but don't rely on the time window Von's gives you. You get to pick a 2-hour or 4-hour time window. We left HoJo at the end of our window (before the food was delivered) as we had a PS in the park. When we came back, all the food was placed neatly on the dresser, and appropriate items were in the fridge. Yet another great perk from HoJo. Just let the front desk know you have an order coming. Make sure you schedule it to arrive after you do, otherwise it will sit in the lobby until you show up - not good for milk.

If you order milk, remove the shelf in the fridge and you can fit in 2 half gallons. I don't think a full gallon will fit, but maybe someone else has tried.

Thanks. We are planning on cereal and my DS still drinks a bottle a couple of times a day so we will definately be packing in the milk.

I am not looking forward to the longer walk, but I've heard such good things about HoJo that we're trying it out this trip.
