What Garden Suite at BWI

[tiger4me2]

Ok after my mess with Disney over CR I finally got an answer from Disney. They agree to switch me to club level at the Garden Suite at the BWI with a small increase. My question which garden suite cottage number should I request? I like layout 1 with the balcony looking over living room. I would like one nearest to main lobby & in a quiet area. Is 1201 or 1202 the best location? Thanks.

I just came back from the BWI staying in a GS.
Why did you switch from CR and when is your trip?

We walked over that way last month to check it out, we are staying there in Oct this year and want to be by the quiet pool. There was cottages right by the quiet pool and just a short walk to the lobby

My trip is Oct 21st to 25th. Why because the CM lied to me as I asked for club level. I called several times & was reconfirm it was club level. I knew it couldn't be due to cost but it was a bounce back offer. I just didn't like how they treated me and after I found out the CM member told me to write an email about what happened said it wasn't right that I was misinformed by so many CM's. Some would say it not lying but when you get 5 CM telling you it is club level & it is not then something is wrong or they need more training. Which garden suite were you in?

We had the closest non-balcony room to the lobby - 1208. Ours had a large hedge heart in the front yard. Here are my scrapbook pages with my front yard pics.

Facing away from the quiet pool, this suite was the fourth from the left. The lobby was on the left as well.

Remember that there are only three garden suites with balconies so make sure you make that a big marked request on your ressie if that is what you want.

Also, you'll want to be aware of the distance from the suites to the Concierge Lounge. It is up three flights of stairs. You can take a back staircase up three flights from the courtyard or you'll have to walk into the hotel and take the elevator up and then walk all the way back to the lounge. In theory, it's not that far but I wish I had known when I booked as it made it difficult to take advantage of the lounge offerings.

Enjoy your stay. I'm sure the pool will be much more pleasant for you on your trip than it was for us in December.
