We've rented DVC points once in 2011 @ SSR (a studio). When we checked in we were sent to a room that was unmade up from a previous guest. We were so grossed out that instead of waiting for the room to get cleaned we took a different room in a much less desirable location. We actually didn't know that you had to pay extra for housekeeping (we went for a weekend so we didn't get any). We did get more toilet paper when we asked though, but were denied a box of tissues (I had a cold at the time). This really soured our mood and the whole renting points thing. We're on vacation and like to come back to a clean room.
So this January we're giving renting vacation points another shot, and I'm assuming things still work the same. Our hotel of choice wasn't available for the length of our stay so we're doing a split stay - BWV - 2 nights & GFV - 3 nights.
I know this is a silly question, but since some people spend days in a room without getting it cleaned, how well do they clean the room for new guests? The thought of a room not getting cleaned daily, especially when shared by SO MANY people grosses me out.
I'm thinking of just paying for additional housekeeping, but I feel like we're already paying a lot per night and it stinks to have to pay more just to have a clean room! I guess you can't have the best of both worlds. We have friends who just returned from renting points. They said they paid extra for housekeeping and their linens never got changed. What would you do in an instance like this - would they refund the amount you paid or just come a different day, even though you paid for it to get changed twice then? I guess I just don't get how it works?
Also, how many towels do they provide in a studio?
What do most people do when it comes to housekeeping?
