HRH Loews First Questions

[starseed]

My husband and I will be staying at HRH in a couple of weeks and we currently have a garden view booked at the AAA rate in order to take advantage of the Loews First benefits. SO EXCITED!!

I have a few questions, I'm hoping I can get answers to...
1) If we decide to upgrade to a Club room at check-in, will we still get the Loews First benefits (specifically, the welcome gift)?

2) Are robes a standard amenity at HRH or is that a Loews First benefit?

3) Totally unrelated to Loews First... Can you share how much Club was offered to you if you asked for the upgrade at check-in? Also, is it likely that a Club upgrade would be available in early February at check-in?

TIA!

1) Yes.

2) Robes are standard.

3) Sorry, don't know this.

Yes, you will still get your Loews first gift if you upgrade to Club. May have to ask for it though. We have upgraded to Club for $50 during slow times. We usually book Club now when we get a good rate. On one of our last trips, we booked Club and our friends upgraded when they got there. They had to pay $100 a night for the upgrade. I think it was slightly more than what we paid.
I would think that early Feb is a slower time of year, except maybe the weekends due to Mardi Gras. I have found we have much better luck checking in early or mid week as opposed to a Friday.

Thank you damo & morningstar!

As for the Club upgrade at check-in, we plan on trying for it and we're hoping that it's closer to $50 than the $100 per night!

We checked in yesterday and after asking for the Club upgrade at that time, it was offered to us for $75 per night. It's not worth it for just the two of us, especially since we will be going off property for a good bit of today. We would've likely upgraded for $50, tho!

The person who checked us in called someone who asked when we will would be checking out before a price was given to us.

Just thought I would provide an update since I have been fortunate to have acquired so much information from this forum!
