HARD ROCK HOTEL information

[tlinus]

Hi, We will be staying at the HRH in May.With Loews Gold I have been upgraded to a DELUXE room. There are only 4 of us but my two teen boys need seperate beds. Do all DELUXE rooms have 2 queen beds and a pull out sofa?? Or do I need to have this info put on my reservation?? Thanks, Joan

did you reserve the queen deluxe room? if so then you will be fine. they come with 2 queen beds and the pull out sofa.

hope this helps

Once you rent a cabana it is yours from pool opening to closing. Rates vary from date to date and also which cabana you rent. From what I have seen, they can be as little as $125 up to $200. You would need to call and talk to the folks in the fitness room. . yes, that's where you make your reservations, to get specific information about the date you are interested in.

thanks ever so much - I will look into it (have booked one for our day at Aquatica and have to think if we can afford two!!)

We did the same. We have a cabana booked for HRH, then found out about Aquatica. I went ahead and booked one for Aquatica as we figure that's really a place where you would take advantage of a cabana more so than HRH. The cabana's come highly recommended around here and there are some who don't make a trip without a cabana/pool day. We are keeping our reservation for the HRH cabana, but will see what it is like around the pool before we make any final decision (DH said if we get the Aquatica cabana we had to let the HRH one go ) I haven't cancelled it yet and he agreed to wait and see. We have a week at HRH and our cabana reservation is for our last full day there, so we've got time to make that decision. I think you are supposed to cancel like 48 hours before your ressie, but I'll be checking with them soon to make sure. I don't want to be locked into the rental if we feel we don't need it and I also don't want to hang on to a reservation someone else might really want to make. The good thing is we are going during a slower time (end of April/beginning of May) so it's not like we are holding it up during a peak time.

Do you mind me asking when you made your Aquatica ressie??

Has anyone stayed at any of the suites at the HRH? Were they nice? Worth the extra money?
Thanks

Just booked a cabana for Sunday April12 @ HRH. The rate was $160. Can't wait for a great week.

Have a Club reservation @ HRH, any quick recommendation for room numbers?

Thanks!

i stay in the king suites at hrh.
i get the free upgrade being a platinum card holder.

you have more room.

you have a king bed, sofa, chairs, dining room table, etc.
if you go to the website, take a tour of the suite

for me, if i did not get the free upgrade, i would not take the suite.
i am rarely in my room when i go during HHN time.
i spend a majority of my time in the park during that event.

and i go solo.

if you have a few people in your party, yes, it should be worth the extra cost as you have a lot of room in the suite...

tip: lift up the king bed to the wall sometime. see what picture is on the bottom of that bed. little known tidbit here that not many are aware of...

if you are on club level, you get a discount on the cabana. did you book the themed cabana? they are kewl !!

the room numbers are different for the view you have and type of room you have.
need more 411 before i could give my opinion on room number.


have a great trip. you will enjoy everything there !!

Sorry if this question has been asked before~I looked but didn't see it.

Can you take a small cooler to the pool with you? We will have drinks and snacks in our room and I was wondering if we could carry our own drinks to the pool area or do they frown on that sort of thing?

Thanks.
Oh, one more...When i book my room at the Hard Rock I'm thinking about requesting an obstructed view room. Does this mean they wont give me a Lowes card upgrade (i'm blue level) ? Is the savings worth it in your opnion? I figure we won't be in the room much and when we are it will probably be dark out anyway .

it is a laid back atmosphere.
many do that.

don't feel shy if you take a small cooler with you to the pool area.


have a great time there!

Depending when you are going, Blue Level entitles you to an upgrade IF it's available. You are still booking a standard room, so it should be available to you. If you are going in peak time, doubtful any upgrades will be available at arrival....but, never hurts to ask.... Hope for the best, prepare for the worst!

 

[LeslieR]

Thanks macraven and bubbasmom--we'll be going early August, which I'm guessing is the busy time. No big deal if we don't get upgraded...we will be getting in very early on Sunday the 3rd so hopefully they might have something available??

As for taking a cooler to the pool, I guess we should just act like we know what were doing and don't attract any unnecessary attention...??? lol

Thank you both for your responses!

i came back to see you added a question.


you can ask for an obstructed view at the hrh.
and if you get it, the room will be discounted.
if you booked gv on blue status, you will get pool view but the price will be at the obstructed rate.

the floors up to the 5th have some rooms with less desirable view.
by that i mean, the foliage and trees have grown up more since the buidling was made.

you can have some view but likely not a complete view out of the window, therefore it can be a reduced rate. to get the info on which rooms have that this issue, the front desk has that knowledge.


i have requested obstructed views before to get a discounted room.

when i made platinum, i went to the suites and the view was not an issue.

 

[LeslieR]

Thanks macraven~we're hoping for an upgrade but if we don't get it, no biggie...We're going in early August so I expect it to be busy.

 

[LeslieR]

Thought of another question...In the rooms do they supply glasses or disposable plastic cups? I've seen a really gross news story on the glasses used in hotel rooms (and the coffee pots too) So I'm hoping for plastic!

Hi Leslie,

Here is a link to my HRH trip report, if you haven't already looked at it.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1481054

We requested an obstructed view, and we certainly got one! LOL! The picture makes it look worse than it was - there were sheers AND curtains on the window. You could pretty much block out the view but still have some light come in if you only closed the sheers. We did not get an upgrade, but we were using an AP rate (it was worth it for us to buy one AP) so I don't think we qualified for an upgrade due to that. I believe our rate was $129!

At the time (last summer) they did NOT provide disposable plastic cups (they did provide disposable COFFEE cups) but things may have changed. I bet if you asked for some, you'd get them (see my pic of the lobby lemonade area - they certainly have them available).

Have a great trip!
