Tracy,
I informed them of their mistake they fixed it and I got my confirmation email a moment ago.
I thought parking was charged at the hotel? And what about people who don't drive. I might call them and ask and make sure of the break down.
Do you have the same dates?

I had originally booked with Loewsfor the Royal Pacific last year before Hotelkingdom or Ent. rates were available.

The rate was $219 per night, standard room.

When Hotelkingdom came out with their rates (finally), I booked at $169.00 per night.

Well, I love this board. I just called Hotelkingdom and they lowered my rate to the $126.

I can't believe my luck, as we are going prime time, 2/13-2/15!

WOO HOO, is all I have to say!

Mcazer:

Good for you! That is a good savings!!

Called HotelKingdom reservation number and I was wrong, their system hadn't updated the sales prices and I was wrongly charged $246 when it should have been 184. They fiixed it and I just got a new confirmation. I was thinking that they had charged me more than was on the website because of having 5 people (3 adults, 2 kids) in the room and for parking. LadyRose suggested I call them and she was right, (Thanks!) Do you think I will get charged for the 5th person at the hotel? My confirmation says I will only be charged 140.00 when I check out which is for the 2nd night and that the hotel will not have the original booking amount in their computer so that I won't get double billed. Has anyone stayed at the HRH with 5 people and booked thru HotelKingdom.com?

I'm confused. What prompted you to call Hotelkingdom after you booked at $169 and why did they lower your rate?

 

[LadyRose]

TinkerbellTracy.
I am glad you called, every little bit helps!! I don't know about getting charged for an extra adult, might depend on who the cm is that is checking you in. Also, you want enough cards to have FOTL passes.
Also, I would still double check your credit card statment for double billing. I am thinking to do the same thing for myself, since I received two confirmations.
Are you going the same time frame? We are there the 1st -4th.

dorisdvu: hotelkingdom has released 25% off rates for January and February. So she (Mcazer) booked earlier for $169, and when the sale came out they adjusted her rates.

 

[dorisdvu]

Oh okay. I was just wondering. I have reservations for March. Is this something that Hotel Kingdom does often?

 

[LadyRose]

Everything I have seen with Hotelkingdom is the closer it gets, they start to have sales.
I would keep going back and checking. If the hotel still has availability they will reduce your rates. I would think it would happen sometime in January.

Thanks for the info LadyRose.

Does anyone know if you get your Lowes First ammenities or credit through Hotel Kingdom?

I have worked in the hotel industry, so I always like to give the hotel my $$ first before booking through the hotel discounters.

I spoke to Reservations at the Universal Resort and explained that I found these rates on HotelKingdom.com. I asked them simply if they could come close or match these rates and the best they were able to give me was a garden view 189.00 at the HRH. Hotel Kingdom shows 142.00.

I am rather disappointed. Why would they offer these great rates to wholesale websites, however not to the people calling them directly? DO they expect everyone to be non- net savvy?

I LOVE EVERYONE ON THESE BOARDS!!!!

Just called and got my Feb. rate at RPR reduced to the $126 also. Since I booked two rooms and was originally at $157. - down from $169 which I also got from these boards - my total savings off the original price x 2 rooms is $258.00!!!!!!!


YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[essmom]

Just looked and my dates are on sale also. My original rate was 208/1st nite followed by 5 nites at $203. but the sale rate is 151.20 for gardenview. My rate was for poolview but I'll take the lower price in a sec. I'll save $316 before taxes!! WOW!!! I think I'll call first and see if they'll match it. Thanks so much!!!

 

[essmom]

They wouldn't match it and I told them my rate and she said to be careful b/c they charge for modifying and cancelling reservation but I have my flight, tickets etc so I think I'll switch it.

 

[antmaril]

I believe hotelkingdom.com does charge $10 to change or cancel. I don't think that's unreasonable, considering some of us are saving hundreds of dollars - IMHO.

I'm glad so many are saving big $$$$!

 

[essmom]

Do most of you that already had a ressie b/f hotel kingdom- Did you cancel your 1st ressie or wait a while b/f cancelling. I have not confirmed with HRH about my HK ressie but once I do I thought I should let the other room go. Or should I wait and see if fan cub rate is even lower which is very doubtful!!!

 

[antmaril]

I have not cancelled my original reservation for a King Suite at RPR at the rate of $299. I am waiting to see if a FanClub Rate brings this down to a reasonable level. If not, I'll cancel and go with the reservation I have with hotelkingdom for $149 waterview at RPR.

 

[essmom]

I got the rate on Monday and was charged by Hotel kingdom but I have not been charged yet for the 1st night by universal. How long does this usually take? When i call to check on Hotel Kingdom room, do i give them my name or hotel kingdom confirmation?
