Hard Rock Hotel Club Level

[edamethyst]

We just got back from the Hard Rock Club level and I know alot of people were wondering what they have so this is what I remember:
Breakfast:
Cinnamon Rolls, Muffins, Bagles, Breads, Oatmeal w/ various toppings,
Fresh fruit, Yogurt, Milk, Apple Juice, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate,
jellies, butter, cream cheese, toaster to toast your bagles and bread

Lunch:
small bags of Cool Ranch Doritos, small bags of Pretzels, small bags of Baked Cheetos, small bags of Sun Chips, trail mix, granola bars and yogurt covered pretzels.

Dinner:
there was always 2 hot things...chicken wraps on a stick, crab cakes; beef wraps on a stick, small pastries with cheese and spinach; mini tacos, nachos; then there was always fresh veggies with dip, cheese cubes and crackers, a tossed salad; beer or wine (2 drinks per person at a time)

Evening Snack;
there were always big cookies - chocolate chip, oatmeal and raisin, white choc chip or macadamia nut and then there was always another dessert with them...ice cream, apple fritters with caramel sauce, pound cake with strawberries and whip cream, mini churos with some sauce and there was always milk out.

all day long there were cans of pop - coke, diet coke and sprite and sometimes bottled water was out but if it wasn't out you just had to ask at the desk and they had it right under the desk and would give you how ever many you wanted.

we would eat a good breakfast, snack for lunch and only went out to dinner...it saved us alot of money and was well worth it.

Interesting we had the opposite experience this month. Every time we went into the lounge to get something it was stripped with not a staff member in sight. Im not talking off times, Im talking the times when offerings were supposed to be available. After the third day in a row dh finally spoke to the manager. This was their response "Well if you want something and want to speak to someone come into the back area you might find someone there". Dh said you want me to go into the staff backroom (which is technically offlimits to public) with the hopes of finding a staff member to get something? Dh said we are paying good money to have offerings available when they are supposed to be available and not have to go searching for it in offlimit areas for food or staff
Also the club room is far too small and I swear people behave like vultures. The one time we did manage to get a breakfast in 5 days there we were shoved pushed and had chairs taken from our table while sitting there without even people so much as asking if they could use the chair. Needless to say I retrieved our chairs back and politely told them we were using them.
I have not done a trip report for HRH and Im not going to to as I have very little nice to say about our experience. Suffice to say we will not be staying there again.

breakfast also had hard boiled eggs and cold cereal selections (kelloggs brands) in individual containers, like rice krispies and raisin bran, etc.

but other than than that the previous posters have described it.

We stayed HRH Club a week or so ago and found food/drink in the lounge very good and plentiful - it was always being topped up when we were there. Offerings were very similar to those listed by OP so I guess they are always the same We didnt have any problems with anything being available and the room was not over busy - maybe time of year and we did take foid back to our room alot.

Was not atall impressed with the lounge itself though - far to small and bleak. Also not impressed that our room was not made up until 4.30pm even though we asked for earlier after the first day. They also tried not to honour our late checkout (1pm) arranged on check in with an All Access Card. After a "discussion" with the reception manager it was grudgibgly given.

All in all liked food etc in club and worth the money for us, loved location and Express pass, pool OK but too shallow.

We also had a very good experience at hrh cl. Can't wait to go back.

Can you use the lounge on the day you check out? If check out is 11 am, can you use it for the rest of the day or only until 11 am?
TIA

I had this same question on another thread, so I decided to call the hotel directly. Alan on the reservation line said absolutely use it the entire day of checkout! It sounds too good to be true, but that is what he said.

So, for the veterans out there, poke holes in my math. Looking at the food sticky, coffee, pastry, and juice is running $7. Multiplied by 5 people is $35 plus tax. If I can hit that for two days, I almost made up the $115 a night for CL level. So, it won't take much as far as drinks, snacks, a nice quick sweet or an appy to cover the rest.

Add the fact that I have my mother in law and 2 small children with me: I can have them go back, hit the pool area, grab a snack, and maybe change in the fitness room areas or public bathrooms in the lobby while my wife and I hit some more thrill rides with FOTL?

Am I missing something or is this a slam dunk?

Originally they had told us you could use the lounge on our check out date but when we tried to go up our elevator key didn't work in the afternoon. We weren't getting picked up until 5 and tried around 1:30. We could have gone to the front desk and asked about it but we were just going to go up to grab a quick drink and relax for a lil. We decided to go to the front lobby instead where they had a guy playing guitar and singing so we bought some stuff and stayed there, was very relaxing!

5 people in a room make club more worth it.
