Parking???

[DIZNUT57]

Do you have to pay to park at HRH if you are staying there? I have the preferred anual pass.

With the AP, you have to pay to park at HRH....you have to pay at all the hotels....but you don't have to pay at parking garage at CW.

whats CW?

 

[DIZNUT57]

I'm pretty sure CW is Citywalk.

 

[DIZNUT57]

I have read parking is really limited at the resorts. Does anyone use the parking garage if staying on site if it is possible?

 

[justplaingoofy]

I'm pretty sure CW is Citywalk.

AHHH.. makes sense!
I hate that we have to pay $12 per night to park...spoiled by Disney I guess

It's not possible to use the main garage for over night parking.
When you check into the hotel they'll ask if you drove. That's when they add $12 per night to your room charges. PBH has plenty of spaces because they have a huge garage. HRH is the one that's packed with cars along the curb. I've suggested people drive over to the PBH garage and take the shuttle back to HRH if you're leaving your car for a few days and won't drive it until you leave.

Does the hotel give you a parking pass like Disney to put in your window?

No, they give you nothing. I think they just record your license plate number somewhere.

Universal does not own the hotels, they are Loew's hotels.....think of it as "rented space"....

Disney just builds the fees into their rates so you don't see it. I much prefer that Universal breaks it out. That way I can pay if I have a car, and don't have to pay when I don't have a car.

The parking fee is pretty standard these days in luxury hotels. We just spent a week in LA and at one hotel, parking was $30.00 per night and at the not so luxury Marriott, it was still $20.00 per night.

the above is parking at the garages not at the hotels.




just a note to say, if you stay downtown in chicago at a hotel, the cheapest you will find is $41 a night to park at the hotels. that's self parking......
and at hilton towers valet is more.

I know alot of hotels in Cities charge the parking fee due to lack of space. I just think it comes a little bit of a shocker to pay it at a hotel with such a location. (I'm not complaining, just stating that its not what everyone expects)

When you get there, you'll see how limited their parking is. I don't know if they charge because of the limitations or simply because all the Loews Hotels charge for parking.

I guess I am spoiled from the DVC!
What are the rates for HRH?

 

[damo]

Parking rates or hotel rates? A bunch of us have rates of under $150/night in the next two weeks. The rates are variable like Disney and there are a variety of discounts, like Disney. The hotels are all deluxe though, unlike Disney.

 

[bubba's mom]

i think Disneybride2002 means parking.....i believe it's $12./nite
