Good hotel with nice outdoor area, but a little run down and dirty for the price (and stars). Worth it for the express tickets to the parks.

Spring Break

Always a great time at the Hard Rock. We Always try and stay on the 7th floor for the reception area. We didn’t use it much this trip but it’s nice to have that option. Some construction noise around our hotel room that was rather noisy … the hotel did bring this to our attention at check in but would have been nice to know ahead of time. Self parking is expensive but what isn’t these days if you want nice things and stay at nice places .

One night stay. Wish we would have stayed longer

Stayed for one night to get fast passes for 2 days at Universal. Well worth it. Hotel is amazing from the moment you see the entrance. Rooms are huge, well kept with a massive bathroom. Staff were very friendly and super helpful. Bar had some excellent live music playing when we went for a drink at the end of the day.
