Studios at HHI in the summer.

[pachelbel9]

I've read in several threads that if you want to stay at HHI in the summer, that you need to own there. Given that there are so few studios, is it difficult to get a studio or even a 1br in the summer months even if you do own there? Are you competing against a huge number of people the second the windows open?

We were able to get a studio in August about 3 years ago. This was before online booking was available and I called promptly at 9:00 AM when our 7 mo. window opened. During a previous phone call to MS about something else I had mentioned HHI and the CM told me to be sure to book the entire weekend because so many people tried to avoid paying the weekend points and wanted to only book starting on a Sunday so that's what we did. Not sure how important or relevant that may really be but it worked out for us.

I do know that there are times that 1 BRs are available, but 2 BRs are not. Seeings as there are so few 1 BRs by comparison, I was really surprised about this. But last year, we were sitting nearby, when a family wanted to stay an extra day and asked the front desk if there was any availability. By the way, this wasn't summertime, but another busy time. The front desk CM said that there were 1 BRs, but no more 2 BRs, which was what this family had been in. It turned out that part of the family was leaving, so they decided that the 1 BR would be fine.
