Didn't know you could do this, we always go through the pool to the garden walk.

We have used both and prefer the RPR as it just feels (to us), more relaxed.

Last visit, we used RPR Club level on our single night and it certainly worked out a considerable further saving for us, once you took into account 2 breakfasts, evening nibbles wine and beer plus all sodas, pretzels etc that we took into the park. We also liked the space of the club lounge itself.

Sorry for the late response, but thank you so much for this tip!
I just booked RPR Club Level for 2 nights and the price difference wasn't that much considering what you get in return. And because this will be our 2nd and 3rd night after travelling, we will probably still be jetlagged. The club level extras will make it more pleasant to adjust to US time :-D

We love club level at RPR.
We’ve stayed at both hotels and prefer RPR it’s more laid back and a bit quieter which suits us as we’re a bit older.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

You will love it. Our two nights club at RPR are my husband and daughter’s favourite part of our holiday.

I've just booked 2 Club King rooms at the RPR - currently on offer and they work out cheaper than the standard room. Portofino also has discounted rooms but not Club and I prefer RPR as it is closer to City Walk, Discovery Cove and IOA.

We have stayed at both and prefer the atmosphere of the HRH. I do agree though that it would be nice to save the $100 and spend it on a nice dinner out!

I prefer RPR
In fairness we didn’t get the best feel for the place when we were there as it was empty (hurricane Dorian) and all the restaurants were shut.
However, HRH to me felt too dark and transity ( not a word, I know!)
On one trip to HRH we had a ground floor garden room which was so light and bright but that was a random upgrade.

We were at HRH for Hermine and RPR for Dorian. RPR had a nicer lockdown feel in my opinion 😆

Can I ask who you booked with to find them on offer please?

The offer is available as a Premier package on the Universal Orlando site as well as on the Loews site as room only (Savvy traveller rate).
