Can you get any information as to when they now anticipate it may finish? I’m still hoping for that guaranteed refurb standard view end of 2021!
They are being purposefully obtuse! My gut feeling is it will probably run late from talking to them. I think MrToMorrow may have a better handle on it on his next visit as I’m no expert with buildings! They are making great strides with the first springs building but I’ve been here a month and they still probably have that amount of time before it is ready to be handed back. I’ve tried to get close to have a look inside the bottom units but I always get moved along 😂 but there is a lot of plasterboard sheets leaning up against the balcony doors! I’ve got a few more days left so I might find out something interesting but I doubt it!

Hi! Can anyone provide an update on this? We are booked in a standard studio in November for a couple of nights and wondered what the chances are of being in a refurbished room 🤞🏻

I suspect by then only a small part of standard will be done- guessing a third at most.

Are they on a go slow ? When we were there Sept/Oct they moved half way through from the left of CP to the right, always seemed to be a lot of talking on their phones

They keep getting dragged away to other contracts. The Guys are going well, when they are there!

Collapsing beds at the Riviera didn’t help them.

I'm staying in a standard in May so I know I'm going to get an old room. Just wondered if they still provide the toiletries and not the dispensers? They had them on the cruise and I was not a fan! The tamperproof sticker was definitely not tamperproof!

I suspect those disgusting dispensers aren't in the un renovated rooms due to cost as they will get slung when the renovation occurs.

What doughnut decided the best place for them is at the back of the tub!
How can you have a bath and get at them when they are behind you. Not that I use them as we take our own stuff including bars of soap.

For those who like them get a cotton bud and wipe behind the bottles - gross!

Hi

I rented points for a 1 night stay in a studio and asked for grandstand, not realising other rooms were renovated.Due to restricted mobility i need to be near a bus stop (and preferably close to main food/drink court)BUT do't want the experience of waking up to building works!

Any suggestions? or am i safe enough with grandstand?

thanks

I think the Grandstand is perfect for what you want such as bus stop, Turf Club and Palette and drinks station.

The renovated rooms are 'preferred' so you cannot use them with your booking as you have a 'standard' room which is Grandstand, Paddocks and Carousel.
