About Universal's Hard Rock Hotel

>> Check Room Rates at Universal's Hard Rock Hotel

Featuring rock n' roll memorabilia throughout, the Hard Rock Hotel offers four bars and restaurants (but not a Hard Rock Cafe - that's down the street at CityWalk - go figure), pool and sits a short walk from Universal Orlando's theme parks. It also features a underwater sound system in one of the largest pools in Orlando.

This hotel is very similar to the variety of accommodations you would find in a trip to Las Vegas. Sprawling in size and very well maintained, its really a beautiful place. Upon arrival you feel more like you have ventured into a hotel in Hawaii or perhaps California rather than being in Orlando. In comparison to some Deluxe Hotels at Disney this hotel really was a contender for me. There were some very nice touches in the rooms such as an incredible coffee maker, mini bar and entertainment system. I really enjoyed this hotel and the atmosphere as well as it offers one simple thing that Disney only offers at one of its hotels (Boardwalk) and that is walking access to the parks. Even with all of these great things and very well maintained grounds I still felt empty. It just doesn't offer the comfort and ease that a Disney Hotel has. When you check in at many of the Disney hotels the staff says "Welcome Home" and that its exactly what it feels like, home. At Universal its more like staying at your eccentric rich uncle's house for a few days... its fantastic, loud and lots of fun but more in an arrogant,disconnected, empty sort of way. - Crystal A
