OKW lovers thread !!!

I just re-read this post of yours. Just to clarify...

if I have a 2 bedroom lockoff in the HH area I will have the above bathroom situation. Yes?

No you won't have this set up. We were in building 62 (I think) and had the set up described with the pass-through laundry room. Buy my BFF did not have this in building 14 (HH location).

62 isn't HH boooking. I have a 2 bd lockoff in HH. I think we will have the "going thru the bedroom to the bathroom" option. It doesn't seem too bad according to the allears floor plan. I've only been in studios at OKW so it will be all new to me.

If you are booked in the HH category, you will NOT have the extra door into the bathroom. Anyone sleeping in the living room will need to go directly through the master bedroom door to get to the toilet. It's one of the major drawbacks of the HH category.

Thanks for responding. I think we'll ask at check-in if building 62 happens to have an opening, and if not, we'll stick with our HH booking. It is most important for me to have a quick walk to the HH with the kids. I think my sister and my parents will be able to work out the "walking thru the bedroom" issue easily.

Thanks for all your help!

Just fyi, I haven't stayed in the "HH" category, but the walk from 62 is literally across the street. Super Super close!

Depending on the occupancy when you are there, you might not be able to do that. That would be switching room category, and it's possible with the renovations etc, that they might not let you switch the category on arrival.

Of course, it's easier to have booked HH and then ask for a non HH room than the other way around. I think someone else would love to get that HH room that would like it.

True, but check in wont have any idea who that might be.

Not this family. That's our least favorite area.

Totally dislike the HH category. Too dark and musty for me.

Okay, so what am I missing about that comment? Why would the units in HH category be dark and musty???? Buildings 23-26 are very open and sunny with golf course views.

Sorry, just speaking on one bad experience--should not have lumped all of the HH category together there. Last summer we ended up in Building 13 in a studio. It was absolutely awful. It was extremely dark and had a horrible musty smell. We tryed to air it out but after 30 minutes decided that we couldn't live with it for an entire week. We were moved to South Point and loved it there!! And we figured out what the problem was with the other room. There was no window in the bedroom area at all and the vegetation was totally enclosing it--hence, the musty smell. But I agree with you the HH ones in the 20's look absolutely lovely!!

Arlene and Clayton are wonderful bartenders!

How could there not be a window in a studio???? All studios have a full patio door to the deck, and also a double window on the other side of the room right next to the entrance door.

You are correct.

Yes, it did have the patio door, but I'm pretty sure it did not have a front window. Okay, now I'm beginning to wonder if I imagined this. Maybe it was just super thick vegetation?? Is there anyone out there who can support or disprove this?? I went back through some of my older posts and found it is studio #1416.

Yes, it did have the patio door, but it did not have a window. I'm pretty sure it was on the ground floor in building 13--if my building is wrong, it was in the HH category in the teen's.

Believe me....ALL studios/second bedrooms at OKW do have windows. There are plenty of studios that have heavy vegetation at OKW....not just in HH category. Building 13 certainly is one of those that could have heavy vegetation. That vegetation is often very protective though too. It helps to keep those golf balls out of the room!

Looking back through my older posts I found that it is studio #1416. Now I am feeling delusional . . .and not for the first time. The vegetation must have just been massive because it was extremely dark.
