HARD ROCK HOTEL information

[TwingleMum]

SO excited I just booked a deluxe room for 3 nights in August

you also have the HHN event happening at that time.

the on site hotels usually do sell out in october for HHN.

this year is the 20th anniversary of HHN.
it will be packed!

rooms are booked up in blocks by travel agencies.
when they do not sell out,they are returned back to the hotel.

this might be a reason for the no vacancy at hrh right now.

you check again in a few weeks and you might see rooms available again.

What is the HHN event?

I just called Universal to put in a room requests. We are staying club level at the Hard Rock. I wanted to put in a request for a deluxe room early since there are very few. The girl said that you can't request a deluxe room, but if you get one it costs extra. How does that work?

 

[TwingleMum]

I think that is because a deluxe room is more expensive than the other rooms (more square feet) so if you wanted to upgrade to a deluxe room you would have to pay the difference

We are staying at HRH in about 3 weeks (Yea!) and I have read that the walk from the parking lot to the lobby is a beast. I am going to be driving and getting there for an early check in. Should I unload the car at check in or just leave it in car until we come back from the parks when our room is ready? And is parking lot between the hotel and the parks or is it on the other side of hotel? Just curious, thanks!

 

[bubba's mom]

Parking is next to the hotel...if that makes sense. When we stay at PBH, we actually walk thru HRH's parking lot to the parks because it's quicker than the Garden Path from PBH.

I would pull up and unload your car at the entrance. You can leave your car there and go check in & get your keys. If your room is ready, great. If not, check the luggage there.

If your room is not ready, the last thing you'll feel like doing is unloading and parking your car later in the day. You'll probably get a better spot earlier in the day after check out time vs later in the day anyway.

I have a question can I book a kids suite and club at the same time????


Thanks trying to decide what to do

 

[CornishPixie]

Thank you Bubba's Mom! That helped a lot. When we stay at RPR we like that the parking lot has easy access from hotel and the parks. We almost always drive, so here's my next question.
Has anyone ever tried to get around the $15 a day parking fee at the resorts by parking in the parks' parking garage during their stay? If you have annual pass, you get free parking at parks, so just wondering.
Dang, could I be the cheapest person in the world? Really, just trying to save wherever I can!

idk...never stayed club at HRH

uh...you mean overnight? You can park for the DAY free in the garage w/ PAP, but not overnight.

I'm staying at HRH garden view room for the first time.

Do those rooms have the peek a boo 1/2 wall area between the sink and the sleeping area?
I know RPR had that and it was annoying to the family when I turned the lights on to get ready before they were awake.

I'm going to bring a curtain and my flexible shower curtain rod if that's the case.

TIA.

about the parking cost....my hubby was mad the first time we stayed at pbh when they asked us to pay that much for pkg...
we were not told about it before we booked...i guess a little more planning wouldve been helpful..we just assumed it was like dw..where if you stay on property they dont charge you to park...
anyway..we were told that they outsource the mgmt of their lots so there was no way getting out of paying the amount...


one thing we did learn was to park on a lower level and use the elevator (at pbh)..it comes up right close to the resort front entrance...and we could most always park a few feet or so away from it on the lower levels instead of far far away on a top level...

we do always check our bags with the concierge when first checking in...we dont want our stuff left outside to bake...we find this a little easier too when the room is finally ready...to not have to unload everything out of a hot car.

Hey! Has anyone recently gotten back from staying at HRH? Would love to hear your review (they are mixed on TripAdvisor) and what you enjoyed the most. We are so looking forward to visiting WWOHP and the rest of US, but we also plan to take advantage of all of the hotel amenities. Never stayed there but will be in 1 week!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Pixie do a review when you get home. And a dining report of all the places you ate, PUHLEASE!! We are staying at the HRH for the 1st time in Aug we are soooo excited, We haven't been to US/IOA and we are huge Harry Potter fans, Thanks so much,

 

[CornishPixie]

TwingleMom, I will be thrilled to do a review! I will also try to post while staying at HRH and let y'all know about WWOHP. We are supposed to have one of the onsite ressie previews. I have stayed at RPR 3 times and have LOVED it. Beautiful hotel and pool. But, I am so excited to try out HRH this time! We are staying club level and I called and requested one of the room numbers that is supposed to be a deluxe room (keeping fingers crossed). I bought my "all access" pass (it came in the mail in 2 days) and I am praying it will help me at check in. I have loved having these boards to gather tips and information. They have helped me save money and time on each visit we make to US. I would love to be able to "give back" by sharing what I have experienced!

Hi!! We'll be there in about a week too!!! Stayed at HR many times - you will not be disappointed!!! Love it. We are staying Club, arriving on Sat 6/5, feel free to ask me ANY questions or PM me!! Have a great time, I'm SURE you will!!

 

[TheWog]

I wonder when they will open up the bookings for February. We, too, are looking forward to staying here.

 

[TheWog]

How late are the pools open at HRH? We might be arriving later in the evening, but I know the kids will probably want to swim. Thank you.

Thanks, EveryLastBreath,
Our dates are June 1-4 and we are staying Club Level too!!! Sounds like we are going to just miss each other.
I would love to know if you have stayed club level before and what you thought of it. I have read mixed reviews on the boards and worry it won't be worth the money. I will be the only adult with three teenage girls so I thought it would be easier if I knew they could help themselves to snacks and things. They are so excited and chose this trip as their birthday presents. I want them to have a trip to remember!
