Has anyone recently stayed at the storytime villas in windsor hills? If so, would you mind telling me your experience either good or bad? We are supposed to be using them and my sister just recently saw an old thread regarding them that was not good, so of course, now we are a little worried. :scared1: Thanks for any info you could give us. :goodvibes
 
Was it my review that she saw? If it was then you can relax. I will tell you that I was being very picky. I was just upset because we paid so much, and we expected a superior home. It turned out to be a regular home just high priced. It was nothing to ruin a vacation over, it just wasn't as great as expected. For the quality we could have paid much less and rented another home. (which is what my sister and my dad did on the same trip)

We stayed in one of the townhouses in November 2009. My complaints were: they needed to replace the coffee pot, the toaster was just weird (toast only went in half way then you had to turn it upside down to toast the other side), TV in the master bedroom was poor quality with a broken DVD player and broken remote, patio table was sticky with what looked like chocolate ice cream, some of the dishes were chipped, there were no blankets on the beds (only sheets and comforters), and there were no pool towels (but plenty of white bath size towels.)


Also, just to be even more picky, we found a couple of pills (I have no idea what they were) in a dresser drawer. They were bright blue, and would have been spotted easily if the housekeeping would have opened the drawer. My son also found some stuff under the bed. I think he finds stuff in every hotel we ever stay in. Usually some kids lost toys.


We still had a great vacation. The decorations in Storytime were great. My kids loved the Mickey room. We won't be staying there on our next vacation. If they came down on their price, then we probably would stay there again.
 
mickeypooh99, I'm not sure which one she saw - she just emailed me and said. "Was showing the kids the pictures of the Disney house and somehow got into the disboards about Storytime. Mercy! Did you tell me about them? Sounds like they got the major problems worked out, tho." so that made me nervous since I'm the one who booked the place. :) Thanks for letting me know what your feelings were on it. I'm going to hope mainly that it is cleaner than what you said since my husband is very particular about that. We can handle broken remotes and dvds (tho not too well :) ) but sticky patio furniture and pills in the drawers would gross him right out. :headache:
Oh, well, I'll getting there a couple of days before him so that should give me a chance to make sure it is clean tho I'm not wanting to spend my vacation in a scrub bucket. ;)
I think it would definitely take more than that to ruin our vacation tho as you said. So thanks again.
If anyone else has anything to add, please feel free. I always feel better after talking to more people and knowing more what I'm getting into, be it good or not so good.
