Just back from 4 nights at HRH, our second stay there. We were able to get an APH rate, and I will recommend that you check APH rates frequently before your trip - we had several different rates and room types come available in the 2 weeks before our trip and I called to change about 3-4 times. Our room was ready around 2pm and we did have to return to the desk to activate charging privileges, even though we were told we wouldn't have to. So if you go to the park before your room is ready, carry an alternate form of payment with you.
Our stay was great, as usual. Had breakfast at the Kitchen twice. Both times it was very quiet, so its a good breakfast spot IMO. We also ate at NBC Sports Grill, Toothsome, Antojitos and Cowfish. All of it was very good except my entree at Toothsome was underwhelming (chicken alfredo) and the burgooshi at Cowfish was just ok for me.
We also ate at Mythos and Finnegan's for the first time - both were good, not must-do's on future trips but a good stop if you're in the parks looking to sit and relax for a bit.
This trip we were on the fourth floor at the end of a very long hallway. My only gripe with HRH is that the hallways are LONG. It used to be a non-issue because we were able to use the exit door on the far side of the building, closest to City Walk, but this trip there were signs posted saying emergency use only, not an exit. That is new since our last trip in August, when staff told us to use that door. So that's a minor inconvenience.
We had one night when I wasn't feeling great so we came back early and ordered a movie - $20! lol! No biggie. We also parked a car for the first time and the self-parking could not have been easier or more convenient. Used the water taxi once because it was there as we walked out - it was maybe 2 mins faster than walking, in all honesty.
Overall, we had a great stay and are looking forward to returning hopefully soon. Sad to be home!
