Westin Kierland - size of smaller 1BR...

[dvcforus Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close dvcforus]

Is it big enough for 2 adults and 2 kids (6 & 2)? Is there room to put a pack n play in the master bedroom part? I have read reviews where people say it is small, and I saw it was around 560 sq. feet on the website, but I wondered what people had experienced. They have the smaller 1BR with a kitchenette available for our dates now, or we'd have to put in a request and hope for a larger 1BR.

I think it would be fine....are your dates in high season?
Hard to say whether you should hold out or not.
What are u trading?

It is interesting to note that the bathroom and kitchen are what is so much bigger in the 800+ sq ft larger 1BR, not so much the living space....but those are REALLY nice bathrooms!

We are trying to go in late Jan/early Feb. before my daughter turns 2 (to save on airfare!). We are trading a Fairways of the Mtn 1BR.

The search you listed looks like WMH, not for Kierland, and I think I see the same resorts as WMH as those. For Kierland, I saw some Ks last week, waited, and now there are only LKs except Jan 5 - 12...

Here is what I see:

Do you think I have time to roll the dice and put in a request to see what happens? I would rather have the larger unit if it's not too late to request.

Note, there is a larger 1 BR available the week of Jan 5-12.

I see the same results using a Starwood week...maybe Angela will see this and see if she sees anything bigger with her Starwood.

Do you guys see anything for March 22nd week? Thanks.

I think the one bedroom smaller side is a bit small for the pack and play, the configuration of the unit is compact...if you have seen the Sheraton Desert Oasis one bedroom, imagine a layout similar to that.

I have uploaded some photos of the smaller 1 BR side.

[dvcforus Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close dvcforus]

I didn't see anything later in March.

Thanks for the real life photos too!

On the other hand, the larger one br is more spacious and adaptable for your family.

Here are some photos of that:

Thank you so much, I just placed a request with II and selected either Westin Kierland or Marriotty Canyon Villas since I think we'd be happy with either as long as we are in a villa with a full kitchen and a bit more space.

I would only recommend the large 1-Bedroom side of the lock-off with full kitchen if you have more than 2 people.
The smaller side is a step down and the unit I saw didn't have a real door seperating the bedroom from the livingroom.
loved the resort and the large 1-Bedroom unit.
