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

Excellent location and can’t beat the perks of the included Express Unlimited pass. Front desk was very helpful and got us distilled water for our CPAP machines so we didn’t have to leave the hotel to find a store. The club was very nice to grab a quick snack, although it wasn’t worth the added cost of $200/night. Plenty of food for breakfast and dinner, but very slim pickings for lunch (just chips and cookies).

Hard Rock Hotel recently went through a Renovation. Doesn’t change the fact that it is a 24 year old structure. All of the common areas were very nice. Updated rooms still had some issues. A/C unit in room did not keep the room cool at all. In my Queen / Queen room I had a Queen / Double bed. For $1,300 per night…. I don’t think so…. 7th floor Club Floor Lounge, the service was excellent, the food options were not so good. I’m not likely to stay here again, if I do, it will not be on the club level. Hotel Management was very nice and helpful. The Rooms are just old, been tho the renovation make things better.

I believe, like many hotels, this wonderful place looks like it needs refresh. It seems rundown after the pandemic. I was there in 2017, and it was a lot nicer. Still had a nice time in 2025, but this place feels tired.

Great location. We booked to take advantage of the free express passes for the universal parks, so was a holiday within a holiday. We requested adjoining rooms, which was done. Large, comfortable rooms. Perfect for a short stay. We had a problem with the electric sockets/lights along one side of the room but didn't notice until bedtime. When I mentioned it at checkout (so it could be fixed for the next stay), they were very apolgetic & gave us vouchers for the starbucks. I am sure they would have sorted it the previous night if they had known. Beds were very comfortable.
