I've always received a USA today at each of the Marrott's every time we've vacationed there. Horizon's had pool towels in the unit that last time we were there. Both Grand Chateau and Ocean Pointe have pool towels pool side and not in the lobby. We did not use the pool's at Manor Club and I don't recall where the pool towels were.
Personally I find the mid-week tidy inconvenient, intrusive and unecessary. I'd just as soon not have people in my room. I have had items stolen once at Westgate Branson Woods by an employee who entered my room. Personally, I can make my own bed if I want to and take the trash down the hall to the rubish bin.
Of the four maintenance has never been an issue, bedding and linens were top quality as was generally everything in the resort. I am aware of a couple of Marriott timeshares where there are maintenance issues. Those being the Marriott timeshares in Vail and Beachplace Towers in Fort Lauderdale. Otherwise I've heard or read very little in the form of complaints.
To date we haven't spent time in a Hyatt resort. We will spend time at one of the Westin resorts next month and I look forward to seeing what they're quality level is.
For the last three or four years I've been keeping a photo log of our timeshare visits at my Webshots webpage. I find it's an easy way to compare the basics of different timeshares. I generally don't take photo's of minor maintenance issues as individual units will vary. I prefer to take overall pictures so others can see the general idea of the resort, unit layouts and quality of furnishings.
That webpage is at dougp26364's photos and albums on webshots for anyone wanting to compare the four Marriott's we've been to with the four DRI resorts we've been to. The Polo Towers web page contains photo's of both the Villa's and the Suites units (two in one album). There are also photo's from Greensprings Plantation and Gatlinburg Town Square. GTS is now managed by Summerbay so I'm not certain you'd want to call it an DRI resort.
