just returned from 7 night stay, Dec 1-8... this was our 3rd stay at BCR...
we arrived at about 4:10 for check-in, only 2 people in front of us in line... at counter I asked for room facing lake, was told nothing was available, so I asked for highest floor available, was told 5th floor was highest he had...
he said I will put you in building 2 so you have a pool close by? he also said it was completely refurbished so it was like brand new...were in a 2 bedroom room 541 facing parking lot and golf course.
room was ok but I much prefer the 3 bedroom... living room area seemed much smaller in 2 bdr and second bathroom was also much smaller...
not sure what was refurbished? maybe paint and carpet? appliances were old , dishwasher was missing 2 wheels on bottom basket, fridge icemaker malfunctioned the entire stay overflowing and ruining some of our frozen items...the tub in second bathroom was old and had big chunks of porcelain missing...
also the windows in the hallways on upper floors were so dirty with green mossy stuff you could barely see out...
when we stayed in tower 6 in May 2011 my daughter (26 at that time) said it was the most comfortable bed she had ever slept in... well the beds in both rooms Master and second bdr were horrible this trip. hard as rocks, I would wake up at night and could hardly move I was so stiff.
when we stayed in tower 5 and 6 we never heard another sole the entire stays, this trip we could here people in the hall and in the rooms next to us... one of them had a young child that kept crying and I would keep getting up and running to other room thinking it was my grandson...
we ran out of trash bags and dish and laundry soap so my daughter called down for more and they said ok, but it never came, next day she called again and was told they don't do that but would make an exception this time since they had told her they would bring it the day before? last time we stayed they brought it 10 minutes after we called... good thing we took extra tp...
for the price we paid it was still a bargain, but I definitely prefer towers 5 or 6 over 2...
one night we were sitting on our balcony and the top floor 4 bdr had about 10 kids on their balconies and they were screaming, yelling, and throwing stuff over... one of their next door neighbors must have called because security did arrive on a bicycle and go up and an adult went out and made them go inside...
