do you know what type of suite it is? We’ve stayed in all catagory suites and can give you recommendations. Is it Portofino, Villa or Hospitality suite?
It is a Portofino suite.

You will love that suite! The two bedroom suite is huge. It also has three bathrooms which is nice. I’ve been told by the resort that all portofino suites are in the west wing. We have stayed in six different ones and they all were in the west wing. They were on the ground, second and third floor. The two on the ground floor have patios. There is one right by the boat dock, I believe the numbers were 3133,3135 and 3137. The other ground floor suite was further from the boat dock but had a great bay view and was very private. The suites we had on the second and third floor did not have balconies but had great views of the bay or beach pool. One suite was right by the elevator and just steps from the pool. I loved that one.
Looking for recommendations on where to request rooms for our upcoming stay. Want to stay away from the pet rooms and my mom who is 73 will be with us so looking for a quieter section. Any suggestions?
For those that do utilise the cars, the ODC service that sit outside the hotels are no longer going to be free for onsite guests.
There will be a flat $10 charge to go between these hotels from now on. This is down to the company not the hotels.
The free dining shuttle is also ending.
I'm assuming this is starting now and not waiting until summer to implement. $10 isnt a big deal; but when you touted this as one of the perks of staying onsite to hubby....
I actually forget the date it starts, to be honest I have May 1st in my head, but I think that's when Disney implement the smoking/giant stroller/ice ban
It`s a shame the company themselves have decided to do this.....it was a good perk.
Switched our stay June 2-6 from Royal Pacific to Portofino Club Level. With the AP rate it was only $15 more a night to switch. I'll have to upgrade my ticket to a seasonal pass, so I hope it's worth it and I made the right decision. We've never stayed club level before. This will also be our first time staying onsite at Universal and it's been over 17 years since we've even been to Universal. It will be our daughter's first trip and she's super excited about the Harry Potter stuff. We'll be traveling with my in-laws who will be celebrating their 30th anniversary, and they're staying club level too. I'm a Disney girl at heart, but I have to admit this hotel looks amazing and I think staying here is what I'm looking forward to the most.
We're staying in a club room next month. What's the current room hold on the credit card per night? The accom is fully paid for. Reason for asking is our holds normally take a week to drop (we're from Australia.)
This might make us lean towards HRH or PBH for our next stay. We might want to be in walking distance of The PalmFor those that do utilise the cars, the ODC service that sit outside the hotels are no longer going to be free for onsite guests.

We are probably going to hit Volcano Bay one morning. What is the best transportation for us? There are 6 of us and we wont have a car.
