HARD ROCK HOTEL information

[Melanie230]

Ya know, last year we did RPR Club Level because it was VERY cheap. I think our room was $260 a night on club. The club level at the HRH this year since we are going in June instead of March was like $100 more per night. It just isnt worth that for me to book that. We LOVED the happy 2 hours, and the ease of breakfast every morning. However we have 2 children and one doesnt eat a lot. So a $100 more per night is too much. I am going to ask the front desk if we can upgrade to Club and see how much it will cost. I dont mind paying $35 or $50 more per night but $100 wasnt worth it for us. We are bringing a cooler that plugs in, with water, beer, and our kis favorite snacks.

Which would you choose..................a bigger room (deluxe queen) or a standard room but on club level?!!!
Really can't decide what to do! Does club level have bottles of water and cans of drink that you can take to the pool etc? Thinking of money saving ideas! We have only ever been to the Poly conceirge before, would love to know how it compares if anyone out there has done both!

standard queen non club is $269
deluxe queen non club is $349
standard queen club is $389

no deluxe queen open for the dates i listed.

difference between non club standard/269 to deluxe queen non club/349 would be: $80 a night.

if you went club level for a standard queen room it would be $389 which would be $120 more a night for the same type of room but on club level.

to me if i had to have a 2 bed queen standard room, i would not pay $120 more a night + tax for it.

try your actual dates on the website to see if a deluxe queen is available for the time you are wanting.
if it isn't, then decide if you want club for the drinks and floor level or if you need a deluxe for the extra space.

We just booked HRH for late May; I am wondering if anyone has input as to garden view vs. pool view rooms. Also, pictures of the view would be appreciated! My only experience on-site is RPR and we were very happy with the pool view rooms. TIA.

While we prefer HRH, our view at RPR was far superior to anything we've had at HRH. To have a chance of a good view, you have to be on a higher floor. As others have noted, the foliage has gotten quite high. I agree you have a better chance of getting a bad view, by choosing garden view. We've never really had a bad view, just no real view at all. We travel with a pet now & all the pet rooms have been limited to the 1st floor. We used to stay on higher floors though. We now go for location rather than view, since view on the 1st floor is pretty much a moot point. Anyway, I'd hate for you to go expecting a knock out view & be disappointed in this fabulous resort. We'd stay there, if the windows were blacked out.

Thanks for all your help so far! There will be three of us travelling, me, hubby and son (7). We are not too bothered about the view, as long as we're not looking at the parking lot and would rather have a lovely room. As it is our first stay at HRH we want to make it good...........have stayed at PBH in a fantastic Bay view room which we loved, but wanted to try something new!! Plan on spending quite a bit of time at the resort as well as at the parks.

Debs, try and book a king suite, the room is massive. Club isn't worth the money. People get up there who haven't got a room on floor 7 by staying in the lift with someone who has a card....

Hello All,
just booked for 3 night at the end of july
Haven't stayed here before but have stayed twice at RPR.
I'm going with my 12 y/o son.
I tried to book directly with Lowes but only had club room left, so have booked through Octupus(??!) and couldn't add my Lowes number.
Should i ring/email the resort direct to get them to note this?

How many stays do you need to advance pass Blue membership?
Thanks for all your help

I booked the HRH for a standard 2 queen bed for $134/nt on the Florida resident rate. I could not believe that rate. I was looking to stay at the RPR but it was booked at the Florida resident rate. The lady who was making the reservation told me that there was a better rate at the HRH. I hope this is a good experience. There is also a 7 continuous day ticket for $86.The FOTL alone will be great. Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

you will love hrh.

that price you received is sweet!

i think that the tm's at UO are so helpful. it's great that she gave you information that you didn't ask for to help you out. how else would you have known that the hrh had availability and at a cheap rate.

you will like the decor and ambience hrh has to offer.
the walk is minutes away from the parks and city walk. boats also available

sounds like you are coming out as a winner. go and enjoy your trip!

(standard queen in oct/4-8, goes for $269 prior to discounts.)

i would have to check the loews site to be sure but off the top of my head, i believe it is 3 stays for a total of 6 nights to move you up to gold.

wait............i went to the benefit page.

open this link for the details. (i was correct )

We will be in a deluxe queen at HRH May 1 - May 6. Since you don't select "garden or pool view" with a deluxe when booking, can you request a pool view when checking in - or would it be best to call ahead? Also, I now have my Loews card, but I booked online with the MC free night & upgrade promotion - can I still get some of the membership benefits like the gift? (if so, do I need to call prior or just show them my card at check-in?)

18 days and counting until our first ever family trip to Orlando and US/IOA/SW!!

at hrh, the garden or pool view are the standard rooms.
the deluxe rooms are in various places in the building
they have different views.
i would ask when i checked in for the view location then.
you have the landscape, front drive and pool view for deluxe.

check with loews if the mc is a qualifying stay. if it is then you will get the loews perks.
and ask when you check in if you can use the loews for perks while you stay there.
i know that rack rate and ap rates are not qualifying stays.

 

[macraven]

room numbers for club deluxe are:

deluxe king is: 7016, 7039, 7102, 7119
deluxe queen is: 7019, 7041, 7099, 7101

do you want to know their views?
i have that info also.


you can't book them in advance, ask for them when you check in or have them put the request in your file when you make your ressie.

 

[MSUBB1]

Thanks for the info, Macraven!

Our reservation is for a Queen deluxe room, but unfortunately not on the club level. If you know if any of these rooms have a pool view (specific number) that would be great!

This sounds fun, anybody been here? (First Thursday of month)

Thanks for the info, Macraven!

i called hrh conciere and was told there are 4 deluxe rooms per floor with a total of 32 for the entire building including club level having 8.

there are some with a pool view but they are scattered throughout the building in different locations per floor.

the employee, Heather, could not give me a room number for a higher up floor for queen deluxe at the time i called. she was tied up with a guest.

there about 40 some suites in the building.

I just called concierge services and was told that there are NOT any queen deluxe rooms with a pool/park view. I was told they are all "garden" view.

You know, I have noticed that one person can call and talk to someone at HRH, or any of the hotels, and someone else calls 5 minutes later and gets a completely different answer.

I sure would like a definitive answer to this queen deluxe question. I've been looking at this issue for several months and don't have a clear picture of where we would like to be in the building. Does anyone have a contact at HRH who would be able to give us some very specific information? Wouldn't it be great to have a list to post of which queen deluxe rooms are where, what's the view, what's the room number. Same for king deluxe. It seems standard garden and pool view are pretty clear. I haven't seem many questions regarding suite's (could be that you'd have to take out a second mortgage to stay a few nights in those, unless, of course you had a wonderful upgrade). I have seen many questions regarding the queen deluxe rooms however (mine included) and it seems like specific information in difficult to nail down on these rooms.

club level is on the 7th floor at hrh.
the lounge for club is also on the 7th floor, located very close to the elevators.

club at rph is top floor but not at pbh.

 

[macraven]

the suites and deluxe rooms are scattered throughout the building but not all iin the same locations.

i listed the queen and king deluxe in the stickies. (for club)

i called the concierge to confirm the locations for club level.
