    Hard Rock Hotel is a FANTASTIC Resort

    I can't recommend the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando enough. While the price is high, you are 5 mins walking distance from the parks, early entry to the parks, Unlimited Express passes for the rides, pool is awesome, staff is super kind, and the lobby has that great hotel smell.

    Favorite Family Trip

    We bought an annual pass for Universal Orlando this year and made 3 trips to the parks. This last trip, we stayed at the Hard Rock and loved it! The pool is great, lots of food options and very close (walkable) to Universal. It was our favorite place to stay this year - we will be back!

    Moving with Ease

    Staying at the Hard Rock didn't require much thinking! I had stayed there as a kid and it was my first time checking in as an adult. The staff, the onsite food & drink options, its proximity to the parks, and of course the Universal fast-passes make this vacation. I highly recommend the Hard Rock Hotel if you are planning on going to Universal Studios.

    Perfect Location

    Hard Rock Hotel is the perfect location. Amenities on site were great. Wish they had water filling stations around besides out by the pool. The room was clean besides the walls. The bathroom in the standard room was tight. Like had to move to open the door and the sink was so tiny! Otherwise the room was fun.

    An Okay Stay

    The Hard Rock Hotel was clean, fun and an easy walk to the parks. The facility is dated and needs some significant updating. The rooms need updated and refreshed.The pool area was crowded but lifeguards were present. The sand around the pool complex was a bit annoying as well.
