The hotel is beautiful. People staying at the hotel can get passes that allow them to go to the front of all of the lines in the theme parks - so there is absolutely no wait time at all! That alone, is worth the price of the hotel. The food at the hotel is pricey. The staff is very nice. "The Kitchen" is the best restaurant around - The food there is perfect and service is excellent. We would definitely go back!
2 night stay had a great time. We arrived and were lucky the room was ready at 12:00pm. Poolview only because when we booked nothing else available. Pool view not needed. We were only in the room to sleep and change as we were out and about the rest of the time. Had the best sleep at this hotel as the heating system was very quiet which means a lot to a light sleeper. Room was nice with 2 Queens and outside sink. The best part is the fron of the line to all the rides which was worth every penny. The buffet breakfast was also great with 1/2 price for 12 and under. The pool area very nice but expensive drinks. Nice place to stay. Also nice to go back to the parks at night.

I thought the hotel was amazing. Although our hotel room was way smaller than we expected and out safe was broken when we arrived so they were in our room fixing it for 30 min. The fast pass for the Universal Studios were the best part of staying there. The pool was packed at times couldn't find a spot but the restaurants there were amazing. The 'fake beach' was great. The ferry to the parks was amazing always there when we were otherwise had to wait for 5-10 min. The people there were very nice. Loved the pictures and memorabillia throughout the hotel. Highly recommended, espically if you are going to the Universal parks, got first in line in a 3 hour line because of the fast pass. Loved it.

The Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios is AWESOME! My husband and I took a chance as a walk in and were able to get a King Suite for only $144 a night! I was surprised because online it was like $250. So of course we took the room :) This place is beautiful & classy and spare no expense to make the customers happy! Our room was very spacious and CLEAN! One of the best perks about staying at Universal Studios is the Express pass for the parks. You go to the front of the line! It was awesome and so worth it! We will be staying there again the next time we go to Universal Studios!

from the minute we stepped out of the taxi we were made to feel welcome, the check in was quick and easy, the room was fab.and the room key is worth its weight in gold for getting on all the rides in universal straight away.the kids were made to feel really welcome and the staff couldnt do enough for us.the location was ideal and couldnt fault anything, we ate in the beach club which was a little pricey but the food was great.although we ate out at other places around the resort just for variety.cant wait to go back.cant think of any cons.have been spoilt now and wouldnt want to stay in any other place in Orlando when we go back ! go see for yourself !

This is our 4-5th time at the Hard Rock and we've never been disappointed! Sure it's pricey, but the service has been great each time. It's our favorite hotel in Orlando, especially when we stay with our friends, the Doc and his family. Ate at the Kitchen every morning and the food was excellent. The service was outstanding, every time. The express pass feature with your room key is fantastic. It wasn't very crowded when we went, but we did not wait for longer than a minute on the rides that were crowded. All in all, a great stay. Recession-Shmession, stimulate the economy! Stay at the Hard Rock!

We have stayed here before and it was great, the room was nice, they have remodled them in the last year. Check in was easy and no problem getting a room before 3pm. Still charging to park in the hotel lot which is the only negative it has, for the price of the room you would think the parking would be free. The pool area was clean and the food at the pool bar was really good (the nachos). Being able to use your hotel room key as a fast pass is worth the price of the room, also the parks are right there, we just love the Hard Rock

The Hard Rock is a pricey hotel, but well worth it. The room was beautiful, with alot of ammenities. We enjoyed eating iin the Kitchen restaurant at the hotel. The food again was pricey but worth it. We loved the water taxi over to the parks and city walk. The automatic fast pass showing your room key was worth the price of the hotel itself.In 95degree temperatures, the five minute wait just for staying at the hotel was wonderful. I wish Disney would do the same. We also liked the memorabilia everywhere.

This place was the best hotel I have ever stayed in! The staff was very friendly, and did eveything they could to make our stay more enjoyable! The scenery is gorgeous! The food is graet and the pool is spectacular. The best thing would probably be the Express passes you get for staying there. The longest we had to wait in line for was 10 mins. It was great because of all the things on site!
