The parking is quite expensive: 20/day! It should be free of charge. The breakfast is quite expensive also: almost 50/2persons. It shoud be included in room price. The Internet is free only in the common area.

The Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando is perfectly located for visiting the two Universal theme parks, in addition to the Universal CityWalk. The hotel is of course very nice and stylish; you find the typical Hard Rock morabilia style everywhere. The room, we had a standard one, was clean and practical; but nothing over the top. The pool area and... More

I have stayed at the Hard Rock just about 10 times. It's pricey, about 400 per night. However you can NOT beat the location. Just a short walk, 5, minutes, or the hotel offers a water taxi , right to the front gates of Universal Studios of Florida. City walk a fantastic tiny city of night clubs and restaurants is... More

We stayed at this hotel for the proximity to the parks; we booked an AAA package from the Universal web site, First off we were greeted quite abruptly and not even told or given a map of the resort. We found all the restaurants and water taxis on our own. The people who work there are professional but not very... More

The Hard Rock at Orlando is AMAZING!! It far exceeded all of our expectations...by far. The staff are most helpful and go out of their way to be so. The POOL is the largest ever -- and is immaculate. Restaurants are very good; rooms large and super comfortable. The person I was with had an eye infection and the doctor... More

We had stayed here before, about four years ago. We have never stayed in the same hotel twice before this, but my 14 year old son loved it the first time. It seems a little worn out now. The room was comfortable and the tv was good. The carpets were a bit shabby and little extras are expensive. Having to... More

I have stayed at several resort hotels. Each had patios, pools, lots of foliage, etc. Last week, I ate at one restaurant @ the Hard Rock Hotel Universal with patio dining, as well as inside dining. After seeing 3 rats scurrying about the patio beneath an unoccupied table about 10 feet away from me, I called the waiter over to... More

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal August 2012. Yes, it was very hot but the fun poolside atmosphere kept us cool all week when we weren't at the theme parks. Highly recommend this place if your travelling with young children and are planning to visit Universal Studios. Food on the resort wasn't exactly cheap but not surprising... More
