Has anyone stayed in a suite at HRH?

And did you get the Entertainment rate?

We want to upgrade as a surprise for my brother's 40th birthday. What can you tell me about them, and where can I find photos?

I'm not sure that this is what you'd be interested in, but we stayed in a "Kids Suite" at HRH about 1.5 years ago. It was a nice room with a king size bed at one end and a living room at the other end, and then it had a separate room with two twin beds and a cute little table for the kids. Reality though was that it wasn't really all that special. Maybe I'm spoiled by the DVC at WDW, but that experience taught me that what I really liked about DVC was the kitchen and washer/dryer, and the Kid Suite had neither. We were able to squeeze a few things into the mini refrigerator, but it was mostly filled with snacks (associated with high charges of course.) We managed to eat breakfast in the room by running downstairs to buy milk every day, but we also had to buy paper bowls, spoons, etc., and there was no good way to discard the remnants. They advertised Nintendo/PlayStation in the room, but that turned out to be like pay-per-view movies, and of course, out of courtesy, they didn't interrupt the games to provide any notice when an hour was about to be up. It was also in a very busy area, just around the corner from the elevators, and it was really noisy all night long. After all of that, I found myself wishing we had just reserved a regular room.

I don't mean to be a 'wet blanket' here......I could see that in some circumstances the extra space and living room furniture could be a plus, but in our case, the Kids Suite didn't really provide what would have been most helpful for us.

Have a great trip whatever you decide!
