Blockschip Posted June 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I keep getting emails from HAL offering an upgrade to a suite room at the McKinley Chalet during our cruisetour later this month. Has anyone done the upgrade to the suite there and is it worth it? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I did not but the room was plenty nice and large. We were housed in the new building. There are also plenty of outside, communal sitting areas with fire pits. You will not be spending much time in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockschip Posted June 8, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 8, 2023 That's what I figured. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted June 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2023 We tried starting the day we got the 1st email, but was told there weren't any available. So at 1st I just shrugged it off thinking it was capacity controlled and they probably went quickly. But I kept getting the emails so called a couple more times and every time was told they were gone. Hmmm After getting there, I was glad we didn't do it - the room was plenty big, view was nice and time inside was spent sleeping. Enjoy your trip - it's beautiful!!

My daughter and family opted for the suites weeks ago as they had unused credits which we did not. Are the suites and the regular rooms in the same vicinity??

The property has many buildings; I believe the suites are concentrated in a few. In any case, rooms can be separated by quite a distance. There is a shuttle that circles the property frequently, as well as walking paths that connect everything. It is a beautiful place... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted June 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I loved our “basic” room. Lovely walking areas. Outside meeting areas. Some with fires. We slept and showered there, but little else. I would not bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare renee00 Posted June 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2023 We were tempted but at $100 per person per night, it seemed a bit steep considering there were three of us. The regular room we got was fine enough though with some problems (broken window latch, missing towel). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
