quick portifino questions

[hannymom]

i'm starting my packing, leaving saturday morning.....staying at pbh. do i need to pack lotion and hair conditioner?

 

[mouseRD]

The PBH has the best scented (light) shampoo, conditioner, gel body wash, body lotion, glycerin face soap, & body bar (I can't remember off hand what it is called). I asked housekeeping to leave us some extra one day because DH & I take 2 showers at day when we're visiting the parks & they left us a whole bagful! I'm still using it at home! If you have certain products you prefer, then you could bring them with you, but if you're not picky, then don't bother!

thanks mouseRD. that sounds wonderful, and a little less to pack for me! thanks for your quick response. if you have any more pbh tips or suggestions, let me know. will we get robes? i think i read that on these boards once upon a time. there will be 5 of us in the room so we won't be spending too much time in the room. traveling with hubby, son, daughter and future daughter in law. 3 girls and one bathroom!

Here's a tip on how to get the 3 ladies taken care of at once. Join Loew's 1st and go to the spa and tell them you are going to use the fitness room (free with Loew's 1st). Their locker room is awesome and enough showers for all.
Another tip:
Request a room in the west wing.

The rooms are large/spacious & did have 2 great bathrobes - full length, very roomy. We had a standard, bayview room for DH & myself, great view! We were in the east wing & on the fourth floor. It was a quick walk to the elevator & once out the door, the Gelataria was right there on the right (open 6am - 10 am - great for a morning latte & pastry, fresh squeezed OJ out of this world!) & 4p-10p - the gelato was wonderful!). We requested a quiet area, upper floor & all requests (except balcony) were able to be met. When we checked in, I did ask about the west wing, Motherfletcher, & there was nothing available but a first floor "pet" room (no thanks!). We were assured that it would not be too long a walk & for us it was not; we were also close to a stairwell (for exiting purposes only). I would go back there in a heartbeat! I would love to try a deluxe room; I am not certain if there are bayview deluxe rooms available. For dining, we had lunch at Tchoup Tchoup (walked over from IOA) & at Mythos another day; we had room service dinner our first night & went to Mama Della's the next; all were very good!

thanks for all the valuable tips everyone. i do have the loews card and have already requested a balcony room, but i'm sure everyone does that. with 5 of us, i might try to upgrade us when we get there to the deluxe room. leaving tomorrow!!!!!
