Good morning all. I bought resale (7,000 points Tuscany Orlando) about a year ago. So far we love HGVC. I live in Illinois, but I'm a snow bird in the Tampa area for about 5 months a year. Booking to stretch my stays in Orlando for the Parks, I like to take 3-4 night Monday- Thursday Studios or one bedrooms. Every time I go to book, at most places, by website description, it's not clear if the units have a connecting room. I've called and I've emailed asking at different resorts, but I get answers that conflict the answers given to me. They say an "STD" studio is non connecting, then b4 the conversation is over, they contradict themselves. I am just looking for some consistency between resort locations. It happens with Vegas also. Sometimes the description of the different rooms offered are the same. Connecting doors don't offer much sound proofing. When we stay, I'd like to book whatever room we choose without a connecting door. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To further my frustration, I Emailed Derrick, a HGVC specialist, and these were his 2 responses in the same email exchange:
The codes can differ per resort. But in most cases a studio unit that is not attached to a 1bedroom could be STP or STD units. 1bedroom units could be 1BB or 1BD. We will only be able to tell you once you are ready to confirm reservation and know what room you need at a particular resort.
But then goes on to say:
Studio (LT) unit could be attached to a 1bedroom (LP) to make a 2bedroom lock off (2LO). There are 1bedroom (EP) units that is a standalone bedroom with no attachment. This is the same to other resorts however they may have a different room code such as 1bedroom (1BB) compared to a 1bedroom(1BR) that can be attached to a Studio (STD) unit to make a 2bedroom lock off (2LK).
So he says STP & STD , in most cases are not connecting. Then he says 1bedroom(1BR) that can be attached to a Studio (STD).
UGH !

I actually have had the same question, but I am more interested in the larger units. I called HGVC club reservations with the question. Now I had to talk about a particular property that I was familiar with that had these LO units. For me that was Sunrise Lodge in Park City, Ut. Sunrise has single studios, 1-BR, 2-BR, 3-BR and 4-BR. All of the 2/3/4 has LOs for the studios. So that is the configuration of Sunrise Lodge. On the web site, I see the following for studios, STP, ST2, ST3 & ST4. Per conversations with club reservations, the stand-alone studio unit was STP. ST2 is part of 2-Br unit, ST3 is part of 3-Br unit and ST4 is part of 4-Br unit.

If I wanted to be sure, I would call the specific resort itself.

This is why I was trying to get a sticky going so we could put all the info here (since getting HGVC to ever update their descriptions won't happen any time soon).

We'd have to go resort by resort, unfortunately as that's how HGVC has done them as well.

I agree. I am actually thinking of updating our main informational sticky. Someone has already agreed to spearhead this task. I think that we could provide detailed information for each resort in that sticky. This could be part of that information.

We would all need to help, because I am only familiar with a few resort.

I know the Bay Club really well, and for the life of me I can't match the codes there to the rooms, that are bunch that make NO sense at all. So I can do what I can.

I could probably take a stab at Lagoon Tower as I know that property pretty well too.


Is that of any use.

I know Sunrise well too (I already called anyway). So I can decipher those code.

Post them here for now, and I will move them to a sticky later tonight/tomorrow.

I have made a Sticky for HGVC room codes and detailed resort information.

I am sorry Sandy VHD but I somehow lost your information which you had posted trying to merge to the new sticky. I will see if TUG Brian can recover.

So Happy a Sticky has been created. This has been bugging me since I bought. Now we will have an up to date source to book room types from.

Glad that it has helped. Now, we will need the other HGVC members to add all of the information for the additional resorts.
