Right, it very much does depend on the market but I feel that Disney's product is a step below what others are offering in CFL.
Not to beat a dead horse but they are putting rugs down in the suite level rooms (new rooms at DAK Lodge pictured) so I'm 100% convinced it's a cheapness thing - they want to turn their rooms faster using less labor so have removed anything that isn't nailed down or requires maintenance.
Suites get the rugs, runners and themed throw pillows that should be standard in every room.
Such disrespect for the guest that sleeps on the far side of the far bed having to walk half on carpet and half on bare floor!!
Aren't you guys kind of saying the opposite of each other?
The poster you quoted said the bones are lovely but theming is a mess. And aren't you saying the bones are a mess?
Unless bones doesn't mean structure?

Well, they've been to *a* Monte Carlo...
Marnell is their new go-to for everything - the DLH DVC Tower is next in the pipeline.
It's a shame the DLR 4th hotel and its twin Reflections got canceled, they were going to go balls to the wall luxury (well, for Anaheim) with them per Chakek mandate:
It's amazing what you can find hiding in plain sight on the internet...

The bones are a mess. The massing emphasizes the fire stairs, placing big blank walls as points of focus.

I believe there are guillotine murphy beds there. A hazard undertaken in a poor attempt to deceive in the size of over priced rooms.

Ok I really like this as a hotel for Disneyland. Really digging the look of the lights under the bed, might have to steal that for home!Well, they've been to *a* Monte Carlo...

The Vegas Monte Carlo has been the worst MGM property in Vegas for decades, and I'd include Excalibur in that. The reno into Park MGM is an improvement, but only just.

So much could have been done with the idea of "The Riviera" as the theme... It could and should have been another thematic marvel, but we have all shown them that we don't care and are willing to shell out premium prices for slightly above average accommodations.
It's not that they can't do better... They feel they don't have to anymore...

Indeed, see the Portifino Hotel at Universal.
I feel like that could use a refresh though...nothing to do with Riviera.
Hey you just got out from under Covid quarantine - what are you doing?!
Im Going to Disneyworld!

Any estimations for when the ceremonial house may reopen?
Made a DVC reservation for first week in august and realizing that might be iffy. Hope it's not still a disaster then.

I think it is supposed to be finished by sometime in July. August should be fully open unless there are delays.

Could be worse, there’s times of the year when $595 only gets Paradise Pier at Disneyland, and you get a lot more for your money at the Polynesian.I can stay at a penthouse room in vegas with his and her bathrooms for that price!
