    Hmmm...... It was extremely nice. The rooms themselves were just nice, not too opulent, but not the standard cookie cutter room. However they ALWAYS had good music playing, and they have a radio/cd plaery in the room. They even provide each room with a Rock and roll CD!

    Within EASY walking distance to Universal Studios. And for multi-day stays, they give passes out to Universal Studios.

    • My husband and I and 2 teens shared a room for 14 nights/days here in March 2002. It as great. On the doorstep of the 2 major Universal park and we could let the kids go off and meet up with us later.

    The hotel was spotless. Lots to see. My only comment would be a little expensive. We can't all afford to spend £40 for breakfast each day!

    The pool is fantastic. Music playing nearly 24 hours a day and you can hear the music when underwater.

    Nice clean pool area and when leaving the hotel by the back entrance you reach the parks within minutes and only a couple at that!

    Its also a good thing that you can use your room passes to get fast access into most rides. Worth staying on-site just for that.

    Hard Rock Hotel Orlando: Best place to stay in Orlando    Check Rates
  • Updated By sqeakykane on December 28, 2002
    • This place rocks... for real!!! Even under the water at pool with the longest slide for a hotel in Orlando. Yep they pipe the music into the water for an added treat. This is the coolest hotel we have ever stayed at. The rooms are set up not like your average disney box room, but with some flair... cool stereos, and comfy beds, and the place feels clean... We love the lil bar " the velvet lounge" and its right on the property of Universal.

    The Palm Resturant is fine dining at its best.. better than Emeralds!!!
    The lobby is stocked with many cool things...

    We liked this place so much, we had our wedding there!!!

    • I went to the Hard Rock hotel Orlando in May last year for 3 weeks with my husband and our 9 year old son.
    I had read some bad reviews about the hotel and was a bit worried about our stay, but i really need'nt have been as when we arrived we really did experience the wow factor.
    I walked into our room and could'nt believe the size as it was hugh and so clean.
    We had a meal in The Kitchen which is a restaurant in the hotel and the food was great and my son was impressed as he was entertained by a magician for part of the evening. We also found the staff so hospitable.
    Our first day we caught the water taxi to the park and walked into the park expecting to queue but because we stayed at a Universal Hotel we didnt have to queue and walked straight to the front of the which was great !!! My son really liked the Back to the Future ride!
    We went to all the parks and swam with the Dolphins at Discovery Cove, ate in all the posh well known restaurants, spent a fortune but loved it and we are already planning our next visit. FANTASTIC

    Hard Rock Hotel Orlando: very bad service    Check Rates

  • By bpraterusa on August 19, 2006
    • the place is so bad that my wife,son and two of his friends checked out the same day we checked in due to the poor management personnel that run the place.a four star prides itself on its service and "can do " attitude. the HARD ROCK HOTEL has a long way to go to achieve what has been loosely given to this ....place.... . its like a 40.00 a night place,so if you must have style and comfort and really want your monies worth,go with disney caring people,take care of all your request.

    • I have been at this hotel two times on separate vacations. The facilities and amenities are exceptional. On my first stay the service provided was perfect; The staff was very friendly and helpful. The second vacation here was planned because the first time was awesome! So we booked rooms on the hotels actuals website, packed our bags, loaded up the dogs and headed down. Drove all day and arrived around 11pm on the day of check in. When checking in we where told they lost our reservations and could not help us that the hotel was full. Standing in the lobby with my wife and two dogs, holding a print out of my pre paid email confirmation that was emailed to me before we left home out of state from georgia on a holiday weekend and all hotels in the area are full.

    Underwater pool speakers rocking out all day and night! Water taxi takes you to all theme parks.

    Large hotel inside Universal Studio's theme park. Awesome 12,000 sq. ft. pool with 260' water slide, fountains, beach, and yes, you can hear the music underwater! An Emack & Bolios ice cream cone is a must.

    Water taxi and shuttle service for the park available to guests. Complimentary service to Wet N Wild, Sea World and Discovery Cove. Water taxis take you right to City Walk, taxis run every 20 minutes. Guests staying at the Hard Rock can use Universal Express in the parks to avoid the lines.

    The Hard Rock is located right on Universal property which makes it an incredible location when visiting their theme parks. The Hotel has an awesome metal sculpture of guitars when you first pull up into the entrance way. Once inside check in was a breeze and we were given our room keys and a porter brought up our bags. Our room was a suite and it was incredible. It was very large with a king bed, livingroom, living area, dining room and an awesome view of the pool and property. The bed was so comfortbale and the linens were nice and soft. The bathroom was a nice size with an interesting stone flooring.

    The hotel itself is huge. There are tons of music memorabilia everywhere. We kept stopping every few feet just to check things out. The hotel also has some on site restaurants and bar options such as: The Palm, Velvet Bar, The Kitchen, Emack and Bolio's. City Walk is just a few minutes walk from the hotel where more dining and shops can be found.

    The hotel pool area is unbelievable. The Pool even has a white sand beach on one side. There are 2 jacuzzis, water vollyball, a slide and fountains. The best part was the underwater sound system....nothing like swimming to some good tunes.

    The beachclub poolside bar makes sure you always have a frosty beverage waiting poolside.

    Liz and I had a fun time at this hotel; enjoying the pool, The Kitchen, Having ice cream at Emack & Bolios and just hanging in the room. It was an excellent stay and I will definitely return.

    I always say it's not what you know but who you know. Liz has a connectio so this stay at the Hard Rock was more than I imagined. We stayed in a suite with a pool view. The suite was huge with a large king sized bed, bathroom, living area and a dining room. The room itself was decorated in blues and beiges with really cool tourquoise colored fabric on the dining room chairs. The living area had a couch, chair, table and flat screen TV.

    Your room key is your "fast Pass' to rides at Universal.
