Unfortunately, GFC rooms don\u2019t offer much more than a few extra amenities, such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\n<li>A mini fridge<\/li>\n<li>An espresso machine, and tea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"the-suites\">The suites<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike other hotels, the Sequoia only offers one type of suite. This is a spacious 55 m\u00b2 suite comprising two bedrooms and a large living room with a small kitchen. To be perfectly honest, I wasn\u2019t at all impressed when I visited in 2023. While it certainly offers plenty of space, it doesn\u2019t really exude luxury.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge.webp\" alt=\"Overview of the Golden Forest Club Suite and its large lounge\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge-150x113.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/suite-disney-sequoia-lodge-80x60.webp 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Overview of the Golden Forest Club Suite and its large lounge<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"is-it-worth-booking-with-golden-forest-club\">Is it worth booking with Golden Forest Club?<\/h2>\n<p>Before booking, you\u2019ll definitely ask yourself: is it worth booking with GFC? The answer is no, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The table below shows the total cost of each option, including all the services that are provided. When it comes to afternoon tea, I\u2019ve based my calculations on \u20ac30 per person for something comparable. The price difference between the superior room and the Club room is just \u20ac90. This isn\u2019t very much in the grand scheme of things, and the extra cost is more than offset by access to the lounge.<\/p>\n<p>At present, I don\u2019t think the price is right for the suite.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Options<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Superior Room<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Castle Club Room<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Castle Club Suite<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>2 park days \/ 1 night for 2 pers.<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">658\u20ac<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">869\u20ac<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1211\u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Breakfast<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">60\u20ac<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Inclus<\/em><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Inclus<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tea-time<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">60\u20ac<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Inclus<\/em><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Inclus<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>778\u20ac<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>869\u20ac<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>1211\u20ac<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center mt-5 mb-5\"><span data-disney=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTg4NTQmYT0zMzgyNTg3Jmc9MjIwNTQxMTQ=\" class=\"linkblank btn btn-disney\">Book your Golden Forest Club Package now \u00a0<i class=\"bi bi-calendar-heart-fill\" style=\"font-size:1.2rem;\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-can-i-book-a-golden-forest-club-room\">How can I book a Golden Forest Club room?<\/h2>\n<p>The most convenient way is to visit the official website, book.disneylandparis.com.

Although I didn\u2019t stay at the hotel, having read dozens of guest reviews, I found this VIP experience to be the least interesting of all. This is not because of the price, but because the rooms have aged very poorly. While the Sequoia does offer a cosy atmosphere, it would benefit greatly from renovation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">In my opinion, the Newport Bay Club currently offers better value for money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-a-golden-forest-club-suite-cost\">How much does a Golden Forest Club Suite cost?<\/h3>\n<p>On average, a suite costs twice as much as a superior room at Sequoia Lodge.
