The hotel was great, the service was great. However for the money we paid you would think you could get a room that wouldn't leak. Me and my family stayed for three nights, we had two rooms and they both leaked water the entire time of our visit. One room leaked through the windows, and the other leaked through the... More

I absolutely love this hotel. It is worth just staying in this hotel to get the express pass for Universal. I loved it so much we are going back to Florida for our honeymoon and this is definitely where I am going to book. It is a brilliant hotel and to be honest I am finding it hard to fault... More

First, the facts:This Hard Rock is on-site. It's a 5 minute walk  to Universal studios -10 to Islands of Adventure. Your room key acts as a credit card throughout the theme parks and all of City Walk (except theater). All charges to your room. Purchases can be delivered at no charge. The best part? It is an express pass on... More

My family was recently here for 3 days as part of a Universal package and we really enjoyed the hotel. The rooms are fine, nothing special but clean and comfortable. The food at the hotel was quite good and reasonably priced for a resort hotel. One day we spent at a cabana by the pool and the kids had a... More

The room was a nice size with comfortable beds. We... More

Ive stayed at this hotel 3 times now (2008, 2009 and 2011) and think its starting to lose a bit of its edge. 2009 and 2009 I was blown away by this place but I think they have suffered from not keeping up the high standards you should expect from the prices they charge. Last visit the towels had holes... More

Just returned from five days at the Hard Rock at Universal, and can't say enough good things about our stay. We were two families, totaling 3 adults and 3 children. Hotel is about 25 min from the airport. We rented a minivan, because we also did a day trip to Legoland (another review, but a great time). Upon arrival at... More

Total buzz, from arrival and best valet service possible to cool rooms, superb lobby, brilliant Velvet Bar and the greatest pool. Everything is absolutely brilliant. Top tip hire a cabana for a day by the pool it is the ultimate decadence! More
