HARD ROCK HOTEL information

[macraven]

carlton is a chicagoan i was told. i did not meet him on this past trip.

don't know if he is here originally or just there for work.


the check in clerk told me chicago as that is my neck of the woods.

(think it was february when lou left.)


the staff at hrh seem to appreciate the new boss a lot.
i heard so many great things about hudson on this trip.
quite a few told me lou was more of pleasing his guests at the hotel rather than the staff.

rob left this year for new york. he was one of the main guys at the front desk, thin guy, long beard tied half way down.......remember him?


i can see where you would freak out not getting any replies from lou when you emailed him.

he was very good to me. last year he sent up 7 different gifts to us. front desk person asked me how did i know lou to get those goodies.....she said she has not known anyone getting the gifts like that before.

i left her wondering...................he did it to thank us for the mix up and issues we had on a previous trip there, but i didn't tell the clerk that.

The room service guy was wondering the same thing as her brought in our cart of goodies, LOL!!

Thanks for the info. I do wish they would reopen the gate next to the beach club!!

Can anyone tell me if you get 2 nites free using loews if you are staying 8 nites? I am looking for a good price for club room june 9-17 06. When i use loews it just gives me the regular price of 359.oo and AAA lists it as 323.00. I also have entertainment but that shows no discount whatsoever, which is upsetting because I have always used that before.

 

[macraven]

once the 3 hotels became popular, the entertainment discount was a thing in the past.
it was not offered last year nor this year.

for current 411, go to the universalorlando.com site and click on site hotels.
you wil get up to date/current info.

i plugged in dates for october 06 and the 4th night is no longer available for my dates. instead, an alternative program was listed.

when a promo has been pulled, another or maybe something similar will be listed in its place.

try the site and/or the loews site again.
if it doesn't show the 4th night free, then it is not available for the dates you requested.

and yes, if that promo is good for your travel time, you would get 2 nights free with the 8 booked

Do they have suites here or do you have to book 2 rooms? How many are allowed in one room- My friends want to go and have 4 kids ages 12-7-all boys. Thanks

 

[macraven]

don't know if you can have 6 in the room.

i had a suite in october on the club level.

it had a king bed and a pull out double sofa in the living room.

if you had queens you could put 5 in the room and plenty of space for a roll away.

the suite i had - had two connecting doors. it was set up for larger groups that wanted to stay together.

can't answer your question for sure. but i was under the impression that 5 was the limit for the rooms. i could be wrong

 

[4greatboys]

We had a deluxe room in 2003 and they said max of 5 in the room. Even though it does sleep 6 (and they count kids under 3 as well, unlike Disney who does not).

Our family is coming to HRH June 26 - July 1, we want to book the club level because of the kids (age 13 and 9), visit the parks and also spend a day at Seaworld. We'd appreciate any tips or suggestions. We are Loew's First members and plan to book under the 2FFFA promotion. We also belong to AAA. We plan on asking for a club room, pool view, near the elevators. We are looking for value priced meals, as well. Thank you!

First trip to HRH while not our first trip to USF/IOA this is our first trip to stay on-site. We are a family of 5 comming the 23rd of july till the 28th . We already booked and I have a quick question . We gota lowes card after the reservation was made does anyone think i could call and have that added to our reservation? Can't wait to visit on-site i hear it makes a world of differance is ti true? We have 3 kids 4,11 and 14 will they enjoy it here? I know we did a few years back but never on-site so we will see.

 

[macraven]

to get the upgrades, it has to be requested when you make the ressie.


you can always call loews back to let them know you did not have your card and did not mention being a loews member when you made your ressie.

loews can add info to your ressie.
did you feel out your profile on line for loews membership card? this is where you indicate your preferences on paper/food/etc.
it can be changed when you check into the hrh. i usually do my changing then


you should ask about getting your wecome gift when you check in to hrh.

 

[coastermom]

Thanks i am going to call in the morning . i will let you know what they say.

 

[macraven]

[coastermom]

Gonna call in a few I have 3 kids that needed breakfast and dressing instructions . they are off this week and making me Crazy !!! I am getting around to it soon . Be back later

 

[coastermom]

Very happy to say that there was a very nice conversation with the HRH and NO there is no charge for the roll-away and I told them it wasn't needed. No problem there also they added my Lowes First number to the ressie and there was no problem with that either . Really nice woman helped me and we are all ready to go just looking forward to the trip.

 

[macraven]

Just a quick thanks for the heads up BTW . Really excited about staying on Prop. Just hope the HRH is good for us . I think it will be my 14 and 11 year olds are so ready to go it isn't even funny .

 

[macraven]

ask all the questions you want. people on the universal threads love to help

 

[MDMOM]

I just applied for a lowes card online. Can I call in my reservation with that number. Did you say you can get a free upgrade?

 

[macraven]

yes, you can use that number. you start out with loews blue.
check the websit for the # of nights stay you need to move up to the next level of gold. you are credited the # after each stay is over.

depending on the hotel will determine how lucky you can get on the free upgrade.

i booked at rph and was upgraded when i booked.
at hrh, it depends if they have any availabilites when you are at the blue level.

read the loewsfirst.com site for what you are entitled to for each level.
