PBH - I can never go back!

[calgarygary]

Now Loew's has really done it. Last year they messed with my mind by first giving us a free upgrade to club status and then a month after our stay (only our 2nd at a Loew's hotel) a platinum card arrived in the mail. OK, so somehow they think I'm someone I'm not but I'll run with it. So naturally, when planning our trip this year, I had to take advantage of that platinum perk and booked a 4 night stay at PBH with a free upgrade to a portofino suite. Guilt set in about last year's free upgrade to club status so I decided to treat the family and pay for it this year - take that Loew's you're not going to spoil me this year - NOT!

We arrived early June 30th and a room wasn't ready but was advised at that time that our room was a Hospitality Suite! Well from visiting the boards, Loew's and Universal's sites I knew immediately what that meant but that still didn't prepare me for the room. Loew's - how do you expect me ever to stay with you again? You can't possibly top what you have already done. It's only downhill now.

Anyways, thought I would share some pics.

Here is the parlor entrance area looking back into the hallway.

This is the parlor's seating area.

And of course you need a dining area for 8 when staying at the PBH.

The galley featured a microwave, small fridge and icemaker with room for plenty of liquor bottles.

What hotel room wouldn't have a piano?

Oh yeh, there was a bedroom and 2 bathrooms. How am I ever going to stay in a regular room again?

... must be us Albertan's as something similar happened to us last year when we were in Key West. We booked a room at the La Concha on Duval Street for one night, just so we could enjoy the nightlife and not have to drive. When we arrived, they asked if we belonged to their frequent stay program (which we did) and immediately upgraded us to the Hemingway Suite which is one of their Presidential Suites - and it was only our first stay with them. Of course we didn't complain!!!

Sure makes you loves Loews doesn't it. We ended up in a villa suite with my sister, daughter and her boyfriend. My sister and my daughter's boyfriend had never been to universal. I don't think any vacation will ever match up to that one. 7 days in a PBH villa suite with club access all for the price of a standard room. Gotta love it!
