My reservation was screwed up when we checked in so we stayed night 1 in the deluxe and nights 2&3 club level.
I have to say the deluxe was better. It was 2 queens and a sleep sofa and the room was huge! I don't remember the room # but it was pool view, about 6 rooms from the exit door to the pool and the wing of the hotel where you take the path to Universal. Quick, easy access and it was quiet with no noise at all. I would stay in this location again in a heartbeat.
We had room 7057 on club level. Room was much smaller, elevator was right around the corner to the right and club room was right around the corner to the left. The view looked out to the front parking area but it wasn't bad at all. However, we encountered nothing but constant noise and rude people on club level.
This has thrown me. We've only ever stayed at Wilderness Lodge, and we always get a Club Level room there because we're not big eaters and - honestly - we find that we can make breakfast and dinner out of the Club Lounge buffet offerings at WL just about every day. We even pocket a few yogurts and apples for lunch on the go once in a while! So I was leaning toward the Club Rooms at HRH, imagining that, like at the Lodge, we'd all hit the Lounge at 5pm, the kids would play Legos, watch TV, and we'd sip our wine and decide what to do with the evening. Also I'd pop over to the Lounge with the kids for breakfast and coffee so DH could sleep in. Anyway... everybody is panning the Club Rooms at HRH, so I'm leaning toward Deluxe now, but I'm disappointed. Does anyone have more information regarding "Club 7" and the Lounge experience there? Thanks!
OK after sifting through all of this info...I believe I want to request room 7019 for our stay Jan 16 - 19. Can anyone tell me how far from the lounge the room is? Elevators? My first choice would be to be as close to the lounge as possible but I'd really like to get a deluxe room. When I check in, if 7019 is not available, what room should I request to be close to the lounge? The view is really not that important to us.
Thanks for your help!
