Parking fees at the 3 US hotels?

[Samandmom]

I have been reading that there is a charge for parking at the 3 hotels? Is that correct? We will be staying at RPR

Yup. I think it's like $15 a night or something, too... not exactly cheap.

According to my confirmation I received, it is $15 per night. Which is rather inexpensive for a typical 4* hotel.

I absolutely love that Loews breaks out the fees rather than hiding them in the more expensive nightly rates like a neighboring theme park. This way, if you have a car, you pay. If you don't have a car, you don't pay.

My nightly base rate for my vacation is $205 per night (PBH). Now it is $220 a night - still a fantastic rate for a 4* hotel.

Is the hotel parking separate from the Theme Park parking? Is it easy to find? We are going in 2 weeks fro our first Universal visit. Thanks,

Theme park is indeed separate from hotel parking.

I agree. I prefer to pay for things you need and we need 14 days parking as we always have a car. I know exactly what I am paying for. And yes it`s good it`s not hidden.

Yes very easy to find. Everything is clearly marked.

Don't forget to remember the tax on the parking fees.

That stinks about the parking fee. I am usually an All Stars girl.

$15.95 per night for self parking. They ask if you have a car and if you self or valet parked.

The All Star resorts are great, and a wonderful option for families. But you really can't compare them to the Universal hotels.

The Loews hotels are rated 4 diamonds by AAA, which puts them in the same league as the Grand Floridian, Beach Club, etc.

Even Deluxes like Animal Kingdom Lodge are only 3 diamonds.

The All Star are 2 diamonds.

While the diamond rating isn't everything, it does give one a basis for comparison.

So, getting a 4 diamond hotel for the rates Universal charges, a $15.00 + tax parking fee is pretty much negligible.

For my dates, I am getting a 4* hotel for $205 per night. For the exact same days at the Beach Club (a comparable resort) it would be costing me $480.99 per night. (AAA rates)

I don't have a problem at all adding $15 + tax to my nightly rate at the Portofino And one of the reasons we always stay at Universal and drive over to Disney if we want to do anything over there.

No way was I comparing them. When we stay at the All Stars we usually pay around $99 a night
We got a rate of $259 a night for RPR Club Level. Can't wait!!!

You are going to LOVE it! : It is such a gorgeous resort!

But that is why I prefer Loews breaking out their fees. There is definitely a parking fee hidden in that $481 per night at the Beach Club and from the looks of the nightly fee - probably way more than $15.00 a night. With Loews, I only pay extra if I have a car, with Disney, I pay no matter what.
