Extra housekeeping no longer available

[nickys]

This was reported by a couple of blog sites. Basically you can no longer request additional housekeeping. No official announcement but confirmed when I searched the FAQs (bolded part is mine):


Q.
Can I pay for additional housekeeping services?
A.
Additional housekeeping services, including additional trash and towel service, are not available for purchase. If you are staying on Member Points or Member Cash Discounts, you will be scheduled for trash and towel service on your fourth day. If you are staying more than eight nights, you will receive full cleaning service on your fourth day and trash and towel service on your eighth day.

This must be new because we returned from our stay @boardwalk DVC (early June) and within the room was a printout stating that we could request additional towels at no cost during our stay. Because we stayed for 2 weeks, we did end up asking for them once.

It was reported maybe at the weekend, or just before.

However this doesn’t mean you can’t ask for extra towels. It’s the additional cleaning that’s been cancelled.

Whether it’s a permanent move isn’t clear, but it’s interesting that they already updated the website.

If wanting to know how many rooms to clean far enough ahead to schedule the minimum number of CMs, eliminating elective services is one way to do it. Not letting someone say they want an extra cleaning today probably means turning over a room faster for check-in.

After a long flight I'm sure a family wants to check into their room to refresh/ unpack.
