Room request and online check in?

[seamama71]

If I fax in a room request about a month ahead of time, am I still ok to do online check in? I read somewhere that online check in would essentially nullify any room request I’d made ahead of time.

You can still do online check in, just leave the room request sections blank.

I've heard that they see both requests. You can always call reservations and ask them if your requests are listed on the reservation. Then you would know if they have them.

I've had mixed results and since the online requests are so generic, I will call & fax my requests and then, like KayaWildfire mentioned, skip the room request part of online check-in.

What’s the benefit of online check-in other than skipping the front desk?

You often get a text and can go straight to your room when you arrive.

If you have previously submitted a room request either with your reservation or via fax, it is recommended the only item you input on your online check-in is your time of arrival.

I read that they have gone away from resort faxes as now sadly there are no longer room assignors at the individual resorts. It’s moved to a centralized location that services all the resorts. And they use email. Wether the resorts forward the faxes via email to the centralized location I’m not sure.
