HARD ROCK HOTEL information

[tazz]

4greatboys,
We really want the club level over the extra bed space--kids have no idea we're even going to HRH and this is just another part of the surprise and I'm sure they'd rather have the little extras over the food. Our girls will be 14 & 15 in October and they're only a little over 5 ft. I'm sure our son will fall asleep early from all the exertion during the day so we can just make him a bed on the floor between the 2 beds, or he may sleep the opposite way between the girls. If I can find a great deal and it's small enough, we may get a twin size air mattress. I don't want the roll out bed because I think it will take up too much space plus I don't think it's worth $25. We will not be in the room that much and will probably be fine for the 5 nights. I'm glad we're going here before the Yacht Club. It would be hard to move from more beds to less.

We're planning to do the same--eat breakfast in the lounge and then buy one good meal a day (probably late lunch or early dinner). Of course, there may be the indulgent late night snacks or pizza if we're all up and hungry--I refuse to diet while on vacation!!

Thanks for the information on the cabana. I'm going to get one for the last half of the day on the Friday we're there. Having the lounge chairs is great!

Are all the deluxe rooms pool view? Any particular room or area better than others?

Hi All!

I've been out of the loop for awhile and I don't know where I might look for discount on a room at the Hard Rock for 2 adults. We will be arriving Oct 5 for 3 nights.

Can you use the entertainment book? AAA? Any help would be appreciated as I have to make the reservation this week.

Thanks!

I got the best rate using the entertainment card for August. I think is was 125.00 a night for standard room. Fan club was more money. Call quickly and book something, you could always change it if you find a better rate.

Does anyone know what time the pool normally closes? I have a late arrival and was thinking about taking a dip when I get there if it's still open. Thanks.

 

[netnurse31]

I believe the pool is open until 11PM daily.

 

[WDW4ME]

Thanks for the advice! I was able to get a room for $125 entertainment rate for our October trip--Appreciate it!

I just changed my ressie from a garden view to a pool view. Please tell me it was worth it.


It's our first trip to the HRH (Sept 18 - 22)!

It is worth it. I didn't request anything for my club room and happened to get pool view. It was awesome, I didn't think I would care either way, but seeing the parks and the fireworks was really awesome. My kids loved seeing everything. Later we moved to a deluxe room, and had a courtyard view and it was pretty boring. Have fun!

 

[luvdisney14]

You need to be on a higher floor to see the pool. We had trees in front of our view on 2nd floor.

wdw4me- We got the ent. rate for Oct 6-9 pool view $135/night so we will be there when you are. Will anyone else be there?

 

[3MinnieMom]

Our family of 5 will be at the HRH Nov 5-8th. Could someone explain the cabanas, please? What is included with them, how do you rent them, what's the cost, etc. Thanks! Also, are the Friday "Dive-In Movies" a year-round thing at the pool?

Okay all you hard rockers, how long do I have to wait to get the best rate for a 2 night stay at th Hard Rock Hotel?

We are looking at next July 9 and 10. We have never been to Universal before. Anyone have good trip reports, lots of pictures. I need convincing it is worth $1000 for 2 days.

Try to get the Entertainment Rate or the Fan Club rate. Also try for AAA discount if you are a member. If you have an annual pass they hae discounts for that and also for Florida residents.
It's probably too early for them to have the discounts for next July, but you could book now and keep calling for the discounts.

What is Fan Club? and, What is the typical discount?

 

[torismom]

We are booked at The HRH in Oct for 3 nights. We have 2 rooms reserved at the entertainment rate. What is the rental for a cabana? Also, what is the age limit on the kids club and do they need to be potty trained? We booked a garden view is the pool view worth 10.00 more? Can you see the parks and fireworks from all pool views?

Sorry for all the questions but I am clueless to the universal resorts.

Thanks

I know at the Royal Pacific last summer the lower age limit for their version of the kids club was four years old. I would imiagine HRH would be the same.
No, all the pool view rooms do not afford a view of the parks and fireworks. I personally don't think the pool view is worth extra money. I've stayed in both pool and garden view and was bothered by the bass in the music from the pool when in the pool view room.

 

[luvdisney14]

We were upgraded to pool view, no big deal because there were trees in our way and we couldn't even see the pool.

 

[tazz]

I have a new question (I think). I'm wondering if anyone has ever complained or asked about the offerings in conceirge level (for example, oreos & such)? And, if they are planning to change this at all? We're staying concierge against my better judgement but DH wants it even with the oreos since we are staying offseason and park hours are shorter so we'll be at the resort alot since we'll be there 6 days, with 2 teens, they want drinks & such all day long, plus better prices on cabanas.

Another question- What is a good room for watching the fireworks?
