We have stayed at the RPR several times and we really like it. My teens prefer HRH but I like the RPR. The love the theme, the rooms have always been nice and clean. My 2 little ones love the pool there as well. They have a cool ship the kids can play on.
To me all 3 Universal resorts are right on par with the deluxes at Disney and if you arent interested in the restaurants in the hotel then CityWalk is just right around the corner and they have many places to eat.
I dont think you will be disappointed with your stay there at all.
