Felt welcome from the minute we walked through the door, the VIP Service team are amazing and went the extra mile for our daughter’s 10 birthday. Highly recommended and worth the extra cost for the express passes and walking distance to the main 2 parks we visited.

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.

Love this hotel except it can be noisy at times (hear people yelling or the TV in other's rooms).
2-night trip

6/10

Good stay but it could have been better considering the price, the rooms are big but basic not much decoration or personalization that you could expect for a theme park -1 star for the value for money. At arrival after a 10 hours drive you could expect a nice restaurant, it’s 9:30pm the restaurant “the palm” close at 10pm…. Good timing…. Not, personnel unhappy to see us arriving a bit late, telling us “only reservation after 9:30pm…. You could smell BS and Low customer care for a mile on their faces: - 1 star. Ordered room service the other night, carrots are here just for decoration…. They are old, left on a shelf for days and even black, don’t give you much confidence for the oily saggy food, seriously at this price…. : - 1 star. Last day, check out super easy, the pool is super family friendly and Kristen at our service was just perfect : + 1 star. Total 3 star, we will go back in Universal studio but not sure we choose Hard Rick Hotel next time
3-night trip

8/10

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 .
