HARD ROCK HOTEL information

Does anyone have photos of the Club 7 Lounge?

Has anyone had a case of water delivered to the HRH? When I've stayed at Disney I've ordered water from Costco. I was wondering if the hotel charges you any type of fee to have a package delivered?

I think they do now but don't remember the fee amount.


Disney also started to charge this year for deliveries to the resort. Their charge is $5.

Hi everyone!

Can anyone tell me what kind of an upgrade I could expect (if available of course!) if I am an All Access member ? would it be like from Garden View to possibly Pool View ? has anyone been lucky enough to get upgraded to Deluxe Dbl. Queen after booking standard ?

Also, does anyone know where to find information about the dive-in movie, how do you know what day it is or what movie is playing?

For the movie, check with Concierge Desk, they can tell you what's playing at all the hotels.

And as far as the upgrade, most often it's a standard view upgraded to water view. Anything else is luck of the draw.

I'm very excited as is my family, that we're booked in a deluxe room at the HRH for the first week in May. I got a good super saver rate and this 5 day trip will give me chance to really explore Universal. I was there in 2007 for 2 nights, stayed at the PBH and found myself wanting to stay longer. I also kept walking past the HRH on the path leading to the parks and saying to myself, I should have stayed there. I made sure I won't have that problem this time.

Can someone tell me if there are any restaurants close by to HRH (not CityWalk or the parks) that can be reached through a 5-10 minute walk? Looking to see if we can shave some $$$ off the budget by eating some meals off-site. Also, where is the closest place to buy whole milk? I will be travelling with a 20-month old (as well as DH and 5 year old). We are so excited! We did WDW last year and DS wasn't too excited with the characters he saw. He is a Spidey and Scooby kind of guy. Hopefully we'll run into those characters in the Kitchen or in Confisco (do we need reservations?) Sorry for the rambling post, but just had to ask away!!

You can buy milk in the little shop that also sells ice cream and coffee at the Hard Rock. Though no doubt it is a lot more expensive than in Walmart.

We have never tried walking off site as we hire a car. I would have thought the normal restaurants inside the parks are the same price as what you would pay in the restaurant chains on IDrive. I think people have walked from IDrive to Universal so that is possible.

Across the street from PBH (short walk from HRH), there's a TGIFridays and something else...I think....

We have walked to Idrive and it's a hit with little ones. We had a 3 yr old at the time and it's on a busy street to get to. Instead we now get a cab to Idrive and walk where we want to on it.

There is a buffet place just down Idrive that is about 8 or 9.00 a person that our kids (teens)loved. Has alot of variety and it's good.

Cici's pizza is on Idrive for only 5.50 or so per adults less for kids, all you can eat pizza with some salads too. That one you would want a cab to it's a walk. I think we paid 7.00 for the cab from there to the Royal Pacific.

There are other places on that road too that are cheap. Just watch the signs out front. Alot have their price for buffets out front and are under 10.00 for an adult.

And we picked up Milk and Bread in the little shop next to Cici's before taking the cab back to the hotel.

 

[UniMom]

Did you happen to have a car seat when you took the cab? Not sure if we should be packing ours (we plan on using the airport shuttle) for any taxi rides.

 

[Catrinabeach]

No we didn't have a car seat with us. We used the regular seat belt I believe. We used a car service that supplied one from the airport but i don't remember the taxi's having one.

I went and made character dining reservations for dinner at The Kitchen for the Saturday we will be there (less than 3 weeks ). The concierge told me they will be doing the dive-in movie Friday and the dive-in concert on Sunday. Plus they have live music by the pool on Saturdays from 4-7 pm.

Is there a convenience store in the hotel that sells toiletries, snacks, toys for the pool, etc?

 

[macraven]

There are many pool toys available for anyone to use.

A lot of that has come from guests that did not want to take a pool toy they bought back with them.

yes, you can buy some basic toiletries and snacks at the shop at hrh.
you would be better off buying those things before you come to the hotel .

the star service program will give guests some basic needed toiletries if they have forgotten to bring theirs along.
items such as razors, toothbrush, etc can be received if you call star service.
they will bring it to your room.

bagels, assorted bread (for toast), fresh fruit, donuts, pastries, cold cereal, coffe, tea, milk, I think I remember oatmeal packets too at one time. SOmetimes there are hard boiled eggs out as well.

Granola bars and individual bags of chips/pretzels in the afternoon.

Water, soda, coffe & tea all day.

The nighttime selections are enough to make a light dinner out of as well. Wine and beer during the dinnertime selections as well.

Sweet Treat vary from night to night......cookies, brownies, blondies, make your own sundae.

We have stayed HRH Club Oct 2006, April 2007 and June 2008.

Hope this helps.

We are looking to book a trip for next year and I am just trying to get some information. There will be me, my husband, my son (13) and his friend (13). We like the idea of the King Suite with the connect room for the boys as there will be two bathrooms. The Kids Suite looks nice but there is only one bathroom. Our son's friend takes a 5 minute shower while our son takes a 25 minute shower. Also, I have read some reviews that the walls are very thin. We just stayed at the PBH a few weeks ago and needless to say there was a couple in the room next to us having a wonderful time at 2:30 - 5:30 in the morning. Now, I do understand that there is going to be noise but that's something I truly don't want to be woken up for in the middle of the night. After walking to the HRH many times during our stay, it seems like a really cool place and I think the boys would have a great time. Any advise anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. TIA

 

[wicket2005]

We have stayed in the Hard Rock twice for a total of 35 days and only on one night did we wake through noisy neighbours.

I would be more concerned being on the reception floor and being close to the lobby as our first night was spent in one of these rooms. We heard music early in the morning and thought it was our lads' tv next door but it wasn't it was music from the lobby, we could also hear the elevator dinging and people walking to their rooms on that floor as it was right at the entrance. We complained, after being up 30 hours or so, a disturbed night like this was not ideal and were moved to a higher floor well away from the entrance to that floor. It was perfect from then onwards and the beds are so comfortable.

We were there in July and the hotel had such a party vibe it was fantastic. It was quieter in December but still felt cool to stay there.

I would definitely recommend staying there.
