We recently spent three nights at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando. All staff from the Concierge to the front desk, to the maids were very nice; always spoke when passed us in the halls. We were in a deluxe room on the 6th floor, which was very clean and nice. The bathroom was small; however, there was a second... More

We stayed on the 7th floor at Hard Rock in March. Club 7 is well worth the extra price. The appetizers were like meals! The staff was wonderful and soooo friendly. The only problem is the Air conditioning is on a motion detector, nice and cool in the room until you fall asleep. Then you wake up with the sheets... More

Very convenient if you plan on going to Universal. No more than a 5 minute walk to either main entrance of the park. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and professional. My only regret was the depth of the pool. At its deepest, its only 3 feet. When its 90F out and the crowds descend, the water warms up pretty... More

Hard Rock Hotel is perfectly located for the theme park onslaught. The rooms are dated and service is somewhat mechanical. The cafes/restaurants/public spaces are fine. It's really the location and the benefits of early entry into the theme parks that attracted us to this property, so for that reason it served it's purpose beautifully. More

Stayed at the HR Universal back in February with family of 5 (3 teenaged sons). Was our second stay there in past few years and you can't beat the convenience to Universal parks or the on site amenities. The HR pool and pool side are best of any hotel I've stayed at, would be happy staying there all day but... More

We really enjoyed the Hard Rock Orlando. The hotel itself was very nice, but it was the whole Universal Studios/Hotel experience that we really liked. Let me say first that the 2 days prior we stayed at the omni Orlando champions gate, which was a equally nice hotel, but we didnt really enjoy it. The convenience of being a 10... More

Enjoyed a long weekend. It was our second time at the hotel this time as a girls weekend and to celebrate a sixteenth birthday. We stayed on the club level-terrific amenities from breakfast to wine. Everyone was helpful and pleasant. During the afternoon brak from the amazing amusement parks we enjoyed live music by the pool and the enetratinament on... More

My expectations were really high and I was worried that I might have been a little disappointed (and oversold it to the kids) but I needn't have been. Kids (8,8 &12) all loved it - I thought it might have been a bit old for them but happily I was wrong! We arrived really early (6am) to take advantage of... More

The Hard Rock was lots of fun! I had no idea it was so close to the parks--less than a 5 min walk and you're in! The pool area was beautiful with a great water slide for the kids. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable (but not huge). We had 2 sinks, which helped with bedtime. The staff really... More

We stayed at the Hard Rock hotel for 2 weeks and didn't want to leave! The checkin was superb with friendly staff. We got a pool facing room which also had views of Universal. The room itself had everything you needed if you wanted to stay in your room. The mini bar prices aren't too expensive but there is the... More
