HRH Bathrooms

[kidsncatsndogs]

Just a warning that the HRH bathroom in our garden view room was kind of small and not terribly well appointed. Not what you usually get in a "luxury" level hotel. If you need any of the following, be sure to bring your own: Q-tips, cotton balls, shower cap or sewing kit, because HRH doesn't supply them in the sink basket. (I'm sure you could call for them if needed, but probably would be charged.) Also, the shampoo and conditioner are of rather poor quality--I wished I'd brought my own. Hair dryer was fine, though, and towels were adequate. Shower was kind of weak. And while I'm on the subject of bathroom stuff, please don't be as dopey as I was--I packed my manicuring scissors in my carry-on, and of course, they were confiscated. My nice sharp tweezers were apparently okay, though--I'll never understand how these distinctions are made!

actually I had all the items you mentioned in the HRH and a shoe care kit too. This was in a standard room. I also love the bathrooms. I've stayed at a Deluxe in WDW (CR) and did not have any of those things. Now that is a poorly laid out bathrrom. The toliet is in a tiny little area all by itself.

I agree with katsanddogs. I have non of those amenties. The quality was alwful on what they offered. The hair dryer was barely a hair dryer. In one of our rooms it did'nt even work so we all used the one in the connecting rooms. There the cheap wall mounted ones. At PBH there the plug ins that you can take to any part of the room. I hated the bathrooms and hated the entire room for that matter. Very cold furnishings and the beds where like rocks!

We received all those amenities in our standard, garden view room at the HRH. We also had a "real" hair dryer--not the wall mounted kind. The only thing I didn't like about the bathroom was they included a SCALE!!!!

I had a regular hair dryer too. In fact it is just like the one I own, except it was white instead of purple.
I loved their bath Gel and mouth wash.

Well there's only one building.
We stayed on the 3rd floor garden view 1st trip and 4(?) floor pool view the second

Guess I should elaborate: we stayed at the HRH March 22-26. Our room (5151 or 5252, I can't recall) was on the 5th floor and was at the very farthest end of the hotel from the elevator--next to the stairwell that led down to the pool area. The bathroom was really two rooms--an anteroom with a sink/vanity, wall-mounted hairdryer and the aforementioned skimpy basket, and another, rather cramped room with the toilet, tub with shower, and a pedestal sink. I'm really puzzled that different standard rooms would be so differently appointed. Maybe this is a quality control problem? Just to give you my other impressions of the room: 2 very comfortable queen beds; TV on top of dresser (not in an armoire, as I would have expected); very quiet part of hotel; ridiculously long walk from elevator; room kind of long and narrow (had to sit on edge of bed to eat from room service cart because no room to pull up a chair--so of course I got chocolate on the bedspread--oops!); decor very blah--pale green carpet, bedspreads and drapes, almost bare off-white walls; no turn-down service; room service was prompt, polite and tasty. But all in all, I 'd be happy to stay in a closet to get that FOTL benefit!

You sure you guys were at the HRH? This is what our room looked like and it doesn't sound anything like what some of you are describing. We had lots of room for room service (we put the food on the table) and actually thought the room was gorgeous and the beds very comfortable.

 

[kidsncatsndogs]

Yup, this was our room layout, but we got the rather icky pale green theme in ours. To my mind, this IS a long, narrow room, with very little floor space to put yourself on. We couldn't fit two full meals on that table, and with the room service cart filling the space between the beds and dresser, we would have had to climb over the beds to get to the table. And I do think the walls are kinda bare. Guess I was expecting a more interesting, funky, fun decor, given the theme of the hotel. Curtains were pretty, tho. And are those flowers on your nightstand? ..hey, how come we didn't get any!? All in all, it was a perfectly adequate room, especially given the rate we paid, but it seemed like a very nice motel room, and I expected a little more. You'll recall I started this thread to warn people of the "missing" or poor quality bathroom items, so they could pack accordingly. That was my only real complaint about the room.

Since were whining here can i continue? I had connecting rooms and heard my traveling guest get there wake up phone call! I could hear doors and people in the halls. You just don't have all that noise in PBH. It was disturbing all times of the night. OH and did i mention we had a fire alarm go off at 8 a.m. try finding the stairs in that place! We had to stop an employee and ask of course had it been a real fire we would have burned to death cause the walk to the stairs was about 3 minutes just getting to them!

We just returned from HRH. Our room looked exactly like the one in the picture posted by someone a couple posts ago. We had black & white photos on our walls - of Smoky Robinson, I think. My bathroom complaint was that there was no fan. With our family of four sharing the shower, it got quite steamy & made it difficult to take advantage of having the two sinks since the one in the bathroom was always fogged. Also, I am the only female in the family. Need I say more about why I would have liked a fan in the bathroom??? We all loved the smell of the bath bar soap. The other things such as body wash, shampoo, etc. were not great, they seemed watered down, but they were OK to use for just a few days & save me the trouble of bringing my own. My wall mounted hair dryer worked great! Not directly related to the bathroom, but I had to call 3 times to get a non-feather pillow. I requested 2 pillows, but was happy to get the one at 1 AM two hours after the first request. All in all, we thought it was great. We hardly spent any time in the room anyway, but the room rate was well worth gaining access to front of the line at the US & IOA attractions!! We WILL be going back!

gschmerl:

i thought they only had scales in the deluxe rooms! maybe the bathroom amentities were tied to the rate paid for the room. I didn't have all the stuff either, and I was there on $125 ent rate.

We had the room with the light green spreads, which I thought looked a little worn. Talk about hearing your neighbor! On Sat. night the room next door was playing music till 2:30 a.m. Kept hearing that bass. Figured out they/he wan't even there cause I heard him come in at 2:30. Sunday night teenagers were in and out of doors from 11-12 am and being loud in the hallway, but we asked them to keep it down, people were trying to sleep, and they did. Not too much problem aftger that. Could hear the doors and voices easily in the hall. Thank god we were on the end and only had someone on one side and no hall traffic.

I though the room was just as big as a deluxe at disney.
