When you add the 1BR side to the studio side, does it come to the amount of the full 2BR? Or is it more?

Wow - considering switching my next reservation from a 1-bed to a studio. :)

Update: I canceled my 1-bed reservation and was able to book a Studio Deluxe, Oceanfront instead.

This was a good excuse to test an WORKV OF Studio for the first time. I once had a OF North studio with an excellent view of the restaurant.

The OFD studio is excellent - we stayed in ours last year and really liked it (normally rent it to help cover MFs).
Love the wall of windows next to table.
Enjoy!

We have our owners update today and I intend being extremely vociferous about the room taxing situation and demand a rethink on the way they tax studios, especially OFD ;)

Good move; you will like the OF view. Probably a lot.

You will be glad to know I hit my 90 minute window and didn't have the stamina to prolong arguments so taxing never reared it's ugly head. I was going to ask how the 67,100/81,000 SO ratio resulted in the taxing ratio of $4.71/$28.56 but math didn't seem their strong point. After all they did offer to take my LGR off my hands in return for the same number of Westin Flex SO and around the same MFs as we pay now and were only going to charge me around $11K to do that. I politely declined :D

That’s cheap compared to $25 per night in USVI.
