Wall safes in OKW studios?

[SNOWHITE7]

Can anyone tell me if all of the studios at OKW have wall safes? I think I read in the past that they were being fitted but would like to know if they have now all been done.

Thanks

Every time we have stayed at OKW there has been a wall safe inside the closet of the studio...

At the very least, I know for a fact that room 4320 has one!

<font face="times" size="+0">Hmm... I don't remember having a wall safe at the OKW studio we stayed at last June. It was building 18 I think.
Usually when I take room pics, if there is a safe, I snap a pic of it too just for a record of how big the safe is. And I checked through my OKW pics and the walls in the closet looked blank.
Do only some studios have safes?</font>

I read on an old thread that originally only the dedicated studios had wall safes. There was a safe in the second bedroom of a lock-off and they didn't fit one in these studios but I think they had started to fit them and I wondered if they all had them now.

<font face="times" size="+0">I don't think there is such a thing as a Dedicated Studio at OKW. All studios are lock-offs, IIRC.

I studied my pics again, okay I changed my mind, there's a little thing that looks like it might be a safe. Except in my pic it looks like a piece of white paper w/ a lot of small print text on it that looks like safety instructions for the fire extinguisher or something. Unfortunately, in my pic there is a hanger w/ the Yellow/white Disney laundry bag that blocks the edge of this white square, where perhaps the key to the safe is hanging? So I can't tell for sure from my pic. I certainly don't remember using a safe though.

But the safe could've been there, and I just didn't think to use it.

Did you try calling the OKW front desk to inquire?</font>

Thanks for your replies. I guess I will find out for myself soon as we will be there tomorrow
As we live in the UK it's not worth phoning OKW beforehand.

I will just ask when we check in and if not then I will ask for advice about where to store valuables. We don't take a lot of cash but I don't like to carry my credit and debit cards and passports all the time so it was just for a place to put them.

Thanks again.

<font face="times" size="+0">A bit OT, but Loretta, just wanted to mention that if you don't plan on carrying around your passports, then definitely store them at the Front Desk. I believe they should have a safe for valuables at the Front Desk.

I wouldn't trust leaving something as important as passports in the little safe in the room. I don't really believe those are that secure. But, in theory, the safe at the Front Desk is more guarded?

Personally, I would just carry my passports on me at all times, but I'm paranoid like that.

Anyway, enjoy your trip!</font>

Studios DO have wall safes at OKW, and to my knoweldge, always have had.

I'm glad to know OKW studios now have wall safes. The last time we stayed in a studio at OKW was five years ago (we're spoiled by the one bdroom units!). Up until that time studios did not have wall safes.
