Sequoia Lodge refurb

[jothp]

Hi, does anyone know how long this is going on for.

I know at the moment the expensive (montana) rooms are in the lodges as they are finished and the cheaper rooms are in the main building. When I look at using the early booking discount to book for next June it still offers me the cheap price for the main building. I have two questions
1) Are they really likely to still be doing the refurb by then, they seemed to get the lodges done quite quickly.
2) If I book for the main building on the cheaper rate will they honour that if the refurb is finished or are they likely to put us in a room in the lodges? (the room type specifically says room in the main building)

I've got a feeling that they said the refurbishment was going to go on into 2012

If it were me, I'd book the cheaper prices. If you end up in one of the lodges rather than the main building, it won't really matter in the summer - it's winter when it's cold that you'd want to be in the main building.

Thanks Ware Bears. I would definatley book the cheaper prices, I'm not too bothered about being in the main building I was more interested about what they might do if they had switched the room type back by then and our booking said main building.

I've been umming over this same problem for our Xmas trip. I want the trip to be cheap, but if the main building is a better option in cold weather, I'll pay the extra.

I called the booking line today and they said the refurb is supposed to be finished by end of summer 2011, but they couldn't guarantee it.
