I have stayed at the Hard Rock many time and I enjoy it every time. I love the convience to the parks the best. The rooms are clean and have room to move. The pool can get a little loud but other than that it's great

The Hard Rock is a wonderful location for families to stay at if they are visiting Universal studios and Island of Adventures. The express pass is incredible and allows you to get to the front of all lines at the rides- that alone is worth any extra ...Read more

This was our first trip to Orlando. A friend suggested to stay at the Hard Rock and to upgrade to the CLUB level. Yes, it cost more, but the benifits are plenty. The breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner snacks, night snacks are awesome. Your room key ...Read more

Shrouded by the sounds of guitar riffs and dripping in rock and roll history, it's the place to stay if you really want to live it up on your Universal Studios vacation. Themed after the Eagles famed yet mythical Hotel California, the mission-style architecture transports you right into your rock and roll fantasy. I'm a huge fan of rock music and I had the time of my life simply strolling through the grounds, listening to the blaring music and seeing all the rare memorabilia from some of my favorite rock bands and artists. Looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation? You won't find it here. While the hotel is respectful of their guests' peace and quiet, it really is the hotel most likely to be hopping at all hours of the night. Let the good times roll!

There are several different categories of rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel. On my family's trip we stayed in a standard room with two queen beds, although some rooms have one king-sized bed. If you have a preference, be sure to mention it at the time of booking. The room was spacious and clean, with a view out over a garden. Most standard rooms are garden-view rooms, with views out over trees, plants and flowers. It was pretty but we didn't really get to enjoy it since the standard rooms don't have balcony's. The amenities were abundant with a flat screen TV (which nicely cleared up space), two telephones, a large desk, coffee maker, and a vanity area separate from the bathroom which made getting ready in the morning a whole lot easier. There was also WiFi access, but while it's free in common areas, there's a $10 fee per day for gaining access in the room.

If you're looking for some extra space, there are many deluxe rooms available. The deluxe queen room has two queen beds and an extra pull-out couch, while the deluxe king room has a king bed and room for two additional roll-aways. The rooms can be pricey though. We paid $200 a night for our room, and even with four people we had enough space to spread out and get comfortable. I actually wouldn't recommend paying an extra $50 a night for a few extra feet of space unless you're traveling with more than four people. If you're really living large, there are several suites and executive rooms available, including the Graceland Suite. We were lucky enough to get a quick tour of the suite on our trip and the place was impressive! At 2000 square ft., it boasts two giant beds with leather headboards, walk-in closets, a full kitchen and a giant hot tub, all going for $2000 a night. Needless to say, we won't be staying there anytime soon!

When it comes to recreation and entertainment, the Hard Rock Hotel doesn't fall short. There are rare and spectacular pieces of memorabilia lining the walls almost everywhere you look. I loved seeing the Rolling Stone's signed gold records, the Beatles original clothing, and Jimmy Hendrix's guitar, all of which were only a very small sampling of the hotel's giant collection. Walking around the place is like stepping right into a museum of rock. It was very cool! Besides the memorabilia, the coolest thing at the hotel is the 12,000 square ft. pool which hosts live rock bands and pipes in music underwater. Where else can you go for a swim and hear the sounds of The Who even when your head's submerged? It was very unique and along with the great pool bar and live performances, the pool is worth a stay in and of itself.

If you're looking for more fun, theres a large arcade full of music-themed games and prizes, as well as a playground for kids, a fitness center and nightly rock-themed cocktail party. There were also movies shown by the pool nightly during our stay (including such musical classics as "That Thing You Do" and "Rock and Roll High School"), but we were visiting in the summer. Make sure to check the schedule ahead of time since many of these activities are seasonal. Looking for a bite to eat? The Hard Rock Hotel is the home of two world-class restaurants, a snack bar and 24-hour room service. Food's always available and the options are plentiful.

The Hard Rock Hotel is a truly awesome place. It's the place to be if you're looking for a rockin' good time on your next Universal Studios vacation. Close
