Disappointed at Wyndham Kingsgate
We are used to a whirlpool tub and full kitchen for Deluxe with Wyndham.
Just returned from Kingsgate. I found that having a reservation for a 1 BR deluxe doesn't mean much with that resort. They issued 39-101B (a handicap unit). Asked for anything resembling a Deluxe... was reassigned 24-101B.
Both units had mini kitchen, NO whirlpool tub and queen sized bed.
I was informed that Kingsgate and Patriots Place no longer have whirlpool tubs in any of their units. The dif of 1BR reg and deluxe is size and they were out of the larger.
We had a 10' kitchen wall. . . small frig, small dishwasher, wetbar sink, wetbar sink, 2-burner ceramic over a drawer stack.
There were cube trays to fill rather than an ice maker.
The light under the microwave did light the two burner range top.
Mixing bowls were in cabinet over the fridge (A step stool was upside down on the top shelf of the entry closet). At that same height was a 2-door cabinet for glassware and dishes. Behind one door: glasses (juice, wine, water) and coffee cups stacked up on top each other. Behind the other door: dinner plates, small plates, sausers and bowls... All in a single stack.
Cookware occupied another higher yet upper, above the microwave.
Coffee pot and toaster occupied what countertop there was between the fridg and sink.
Blender was housed under the sink.
The sofa bed was good for sitting, not for sleeping (the old bar-in-back type).
There was no pancake turner. Maintenance brought us a spatula (plastic.. for scraping bowls). Claimed they had nothing for turning eggs.
This reservation was secured using points left from 2009 coupled with some borrowed from 2010. I contected Wyndham Vacation Resorts hoping for something nice. The alternative to what was offered, cancellation whereby we would lose our points. We are disappointed, but made do.

I know that a great "home base" can really set the mood for your vacation! Hope you enjoyed your away time together though!
