Live Like A Rock ‘n’ Roll Superstar at Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando Resort. Its the perfect mix of funk and just plain fun. It’s classy, yet totally casual. Lively, yet laid back. It’s the coolest hotel in town, and you’ll feel like you just stepped off the stage, surrounded with the music, style, and irreverent attitude of the rock n’ roll lifestyle.

Easy times at the hard rock

the hard rock hotel in orlando is just a fun place to be. You don't have to be cool to feel cool there. All the rock and roll trivia from old to new....some of it is bound to appeal to almmost anyone. The pool is a great place to hang out...whether you want to just lay there or take several dips. The pool is comfortable, there are activities and entertainment, and the cafe/bar serves up some yummy stuff poolside. The rooms are very comfortable and they even give you cool stuff (a CD of cool tunes). I stay here whenever I can....tis one of my favorite places!!!!

Great place to vacation with your family

If you are going to the theme parks and City Walk - it is the best place to stay for families. The hotel has lots of kid-friendly activities - the pool and slide is fun. It is walking distance to both theme parks and City Walk. The best part is the unlimited Express Pass you receive by staying there. We did not waste our day standing in lines for the attractions.

"The good, the bad, and the really ugly"

We had requested that a roll away be in the room when we arrvie as we had a late arrival. The bed was not there. It took them over an hour to get it there. They brought a small refrigerator (which was also to have been in the room upon arrival per several phone calls), the refrigeratot took more than an hour, then it made horrible noises, and they had to send another one.

Staffing

(This all could have been because of the time of the year and lack of staff) The check in line was about 20 minutes. We requested a crib ahead of time and at the desk too yet the crib took over 3 hours to get to the room well after 11pm at night. We also had to request a fridge that took an extremely long time to get delivered for my infant's medicine. On a regular day we probably would have blown a gasket but because of checking in on the 1st we chalked it up to lack of staffing but still it's worth mentioning since you are paying good money to stay there. Also, we stayed there for 4 nights and housekeeping only came once. The waiters and the boat captains were all extremely nice and enjoyable.

The Kitchen a little pricey was extremely good. We dined at Emeril's (very pricey) too but I thought the Kitchen was a much better meal.

The Stress Reliver

I stay here beacause I was so stressed and need very much to get away. This was the best choice I made in a long time. Courtesies started from arriving, through check-in and to the room. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I was upset about having to pay for the internet service which was eventually given to me as a complimentary service. Great palce, great food and even greater people
