I’ve never stayed at a universal hotel. What do you use to get into your room? Do they give you a card? Do you swipe it at the entrance of ride lines and for food and merchandise and then get charged at the end of your stay like at Disney?
Has anyone stayed very recently? I am going in September and am worried about the reviews I am reading in other sites, they said check in has been long lines and the rooms are dirty. I was excited to stay at RP but now I am nervous.
There are quite a few bad reviews recently - I see the same for HRH and even a couple for PBI am worried about this as well. We are staying in 10 days and i am seriously considering switching. We have stayed at RPR many times and have never had a problem. But the reviews from the last couple of weeks at the well known hotel review site are really bad. And it is not just one or two, it is all of them. The last thing I want in COVID central are rooms not adequately cleaned!
Why would they not clean daily? I stayed at Sapphire 7/22-7/27 and they did clean daily. I’m watching this thread because I have another stay coming up. I also didn’t hear any grumpy people at RPR the few times we caught their boat to the parks after missing ours.There are quite a few bad reviews recently - I see the same for HRH and even a couple for PB
Does have me concerned now that you have pointed it out.
I dont like the idea that they don't clean the rooms daily - that is just asking for problems IMO - especially with the turnover at Universal Hotels - and it sounds like they are not cleaning the rooms well between stays now either.
Hopefully its being addressed
As one of the PP stated there are many bad reviews recently.Why would they not clean daily? I stayed at Sapphire 7/22-7/27 and they did clean daily. I’m watching this thread because I have another stay coming up. I also didn’t hear any grumpy people at RPR the few times we caught their boat to the parks after missing ours.
And based on my July stay at Sapphire that’s what I expected. I’m not worried about it. My stay isn’t until October.I stayed at Royal Pacific the first week of August and they are cleaning rooms daily. We were actually surprised by that.
A Keurig was mentioned in another post, but they also talked about a kitchen area. Do standard rooms have a Keurig? And do they supply coffee? Thanks in advance.
Ill be sure to update with my experience. overall Ive been happy with my experiences in the past with all the Universal HotelsAnd based on my July stay at Sapphire that’s what I expected. I’m not worried about it. My stay isn’t until October.
Just stayed August 12th-16th. Check in did take over an hour to check in, get our park tickets and drop luggage off at luggage services, we arrived at 11:30am on a Thursday and there was a pretty decent line. We didn't get the text that our rooms were ready till after 5pm, but it was ok as we were over at Epcot doing food and wine. The hotel was very clean and our room was perfect. Every day except one we opted for no housekeeping as we'd rather not, but we need towels, the one day we didn't have the card on the door they came in and cleaned and restocked everything. Overall it was a very good stay.Has anyone stayed very recently? I am going in September and am worried about the reviews I am reading in other sites, they said check in has been long lines and the rooms are dirty. I was excited to stay at RP but now I am nervous.
We just checked in today at about 11:30 AM. Only one person ahead of us to check in, but while we were checking in about 10 people got in line behind us. We did get an email yesterday to check in ahead of time and there was a line you could go in to pick up your room keys if you did that. We had two rooms and I couldn’t figure out how to get the correct names in each room so we did not do that.Has anyone stayed very recently?

That's exactly it - it's all based on luck and timing.We just checked in today at about 11:30 AM. Only one person ahead of us to check in, but while we were checking in about 10 people got in line behind us.
