No I think the way it has been is PBH , HRH and then the least expensive RPR

Right, thats what I meant...that the most expensive is PBH, but if you notice, the rate for HRH is higher than PBH

That's intresting

I wonder if it is because to me it seems to be the closest to the parks . I mean the room we had last time over looked the parking lot but I could see the old HRC and the kids area . It was kind of nice .

We are booked for a MONTH FROM TODAY As you can tell I am a little excited .

Could also be because it books up the quickest.

 

[Nicole786]

Weird huh? Interesting, its making me look at portofino now!

PBH is giving you the Supersaver rate (likely says "other").

 

[AlexandNessa]

Based on your argument, RPR would be the premiere hotel for our dates in the Spring since it was the MOST expensive and the HRH was LEAST expensive. Both HRH and PBH offered the Super Saver rate, and RPR did not. 4/28 - 5/3:

It's fickle. HRH has the least amount of rooms but it's also one of the more popular resorts for families with teens. I've found that booking with AAA, HRH was only giving me a 10% discount, while RPR and PBH was giving me a 15% AAA discount. PRR is a convention hotel, and sometimes conventions come along and fill up the rooms, negating any need to offer generally availability discounts (e.g., Super Saver) at all.

case of supply and demand




October, especially during HHN event, HRH stays at a high occupancy level.
you will pay more there than at rph or pbh at that time period.

i have stayed at all 3.
hrh is where my heart is and where i pay more for a room for october .
they have been running higher than the other two for that event.

if you look at the rack rate price and compare the three, you will find hrh is a few dollars more than pbh.

most people use AAA, APH , Super saver rate promos for the bigger discounts for room.
