I got a Gold card today

[rpbert1]

recieved it this morning for my stay in June/July.
i did not think i qualified as my booking was with a TA , think they made a mistake , but who cares.
Anyone know about getting a King Suite,I will have to ring anyway to see, my BIL is thinking of coming with us next year , so need a separate bedroom, so have to get prices for him and then he will decide.
Do you think a suite would be ok for 3 adults and a child, open to suggestions from people who are more knowlegable than myself

Are you referring to the automatic upgrade to a suite using your Loews card? If so, you need Platinum and a qualifying stay....rack rate or AAA.

Not sure about the other question. Enjoy your upcoming stay.

thanks sleepy, no i knew you needed the platinum for automatic upgrade , it was a room with a separate bedroom suitable to sleep 4, rang RPR a few minutes ago, and suite is suitable for 3 people not 4 so would be the room i have for 4 people, so unfortunatley BIL will probably have to miss out unless he can get someone to share with him.
Anyway i decided to just stay at RPR for the 3 weeks of our holiday ,because we enjoyed it that much this year, so we have reservation for the 14th Jult to 4th August at $191.20 AAA rate, hopefully might come down a bit more.
asked about any deals on parking, if we take a car ,as we will be there for 3 weeks parking would be quite a bit, she checked but said it was an outside company collected the parking and not them, so could not offer anything, so have to decide if i am taking a car

Almost $300 just for parking! Yuck. I would call the hotel direct ask the concierge to whom you should speak with about extended parking fee's. I would be surprised if they couldnt work something out with you. It's sure worth a shot!

fan2CSkr,
i saw a number for the concierge, you reckon he would be the one to ask, the girl i was speaking to rang the front desk, so maybe give the concierge a call, the parking has been bothering me a bit.
. still have not decided on our stay ,although i have the 3 weeks booked at RPR,might stay at Don Cesar at St Petes for a week, when rates come out and cancel a week at RPR,
Will let you know if i get talking to someone, what they say about parking.
