Packing questions

[rickdeni]

As I start to pack, my mind has gone blank on some issues - please help.

We are in a 2 bedroom dedicated unit at VWL.
Are there hair dryers in the bathrooms?
If I have towel and trash 2 times within the week and a full cleaning one day (extra cost for cleaning and extra towel trash i remember that) will they replenish the coffee, laundry detergent, etc?
Are there paper towels in the unit? If not, can I buy them onsite or should I add to my WeGoShop grocery order?

Thanks for your help.

There are paper towels and if you run out you can just ask for more (same with trash bags).

You only get 1 coffee service and 1 tide each time they come. I find I need more than that. I scoop powdered laundry soap into plastic bags in 1 load amounts and then put all of them into a bigger ziplock with some bounce sheets. I do the same with coffee--a filter, sugar/splenda, and enough coffee for one pot into baggies and then into a bigger ziplock. Just mark the bags so they'll know what it is when they search your bags (and they will search them if the dogs sniff coffee or soap in your bag--apparently it's a commom smuggling tool). I go so far as to cut off the labels from the coffee and tide and put it in the bigger ziplocks.

Hairdryers...Yes each bathroom will have one.

Paper towels will be there, and you can request additional should you run out. Same with TP, dishwasher soap, etc.

As stated, you only get one starter of coffee and 1 laundry detergent. We usually bring our own laundry detergent, coffee, filters, salt, pepper, ssugar, cooking spices etc. We have a little supply of that stuff that just stays togehter and we replenish just before a trip so everything is fresh.

Does anyone know what kind of coffee filters the coffee makers at OKW take? cone or basket? thanks!

This used to be an easy answer: basket type. But someone recently reported having a studio with a coffeemaker that required cone type.

If you are staying for at least 8 nights, you will get a full cleaning on day 4 and your trash removed and towels replaced on day 8. If you stay at least 12 nights, you will get another full cleaning on day 12. Anything less than 8 nights and you will only get trash and towels on day 4 (unless you are only staying 3 nights or less - then nothing).

We don't haul soap, coffee, filters, etc. with us as we have the Owner's Locker service. We have full size items of brands we like in our locker and don't worry about packing them for each trip (or having our luggage searched.)

 

[rickdeni]

Thanks for all your help. What is Owner's Locker Service?

 

[jennypenny]

I plan to use owner's locker but wasn't planning on putting any food in there. Many storage facilities have rules against that. Plus, I'm not sure I want to use coffee that's been sitting 6 months to a year.

Yep, and that's why we just pack a small amount of those staples and buy our food at thee grocery store when we arrive.

Well, I was using examples of the things people before me were talking about. Neither DH or I are coffee drinkers at all so we have no coffee in the owners locker. We do have tea bags for DH and flavor sticks for water for me packed in our locker though.
