    Pros +

    • Very comfortable room beds
    • Had a perfect stay at Hard Rock. Firstly the smell as you enter is amazing . The welcome and help we received in upgrading to Annual Passes was exceptional. We made good use of the 2 day express passes This made our experience even more enjoyable.
    • Close proximity to parks.

    Cons -

    • No breakfast included. Room location way too far away from elevators. Not an easy way to get to the parking lot; only a long stairway.
    • Housekeeping never had our room cleaned before arriving from a full day at the parks. No clean towels to clean up with before going out to dinner. Had to contact front desk for towels. Superstar shuttle left us waiting for 2hrs outside, HR didn¿t care.
    • Room had visible water damage to bathroom ceiling: paint was cracked/bubbled. Maintenance confirmed water damage, tried to lie and say they had added kill to it, so there was no mold present. I told him chemicals cannot kill mold spores-public health RN

    The express pass that's included makes this hotel a great value.

    They were doing construction /renovation work in the wing that we were in. It was noisy. We came back from the parks midday for our kiddo to take a nap and there was no way that could happen. Even a heads up that work was occurring would have been nice.

    10ShalenPosted on: 2-8-2024

    Location to the parks and fast passes. Fantastic service. Pool was great too

    Any food and drinks is super expensive

    10KariPosted on: 12-14-2023

    Short walk to universal theme parks. Offering of express pass with stay. Convenience of texting for anything needed by staff. Pool was great!

    10RosePosted on: 11-20-2023

    They were accommodating, they had several restaurants are relaxing lobby a Home light atmosphere staff was friendly the rules for clean.

    I believe that every room shouldve had a refrigerator and a microwave. They had a refrigerator, but I had to request a microwave. The bathroom door close right in front of your face while you sat on the toilet. I feel bad it was awkward and unsafe.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-22-2023

    Convienient to the parks, comfy beds and quiet!

    For the size of the hotel, there needs to be more hot tubs around the pool area!

    10MaryPosted on: 10-2-2023

    Really amazing staff went above and beyond - love the concierge floors - fantastic experience!

    The only thing I didn¿t care for were the cabana cushions were stained - my feelings are if one is going to spend $200 and above to rent a cabana it should. e pristine with clean untrained and unworn cushions. You are paying for a luxury.

    Right next to Universal, decor unlimited express passes

    10VikkiPosted on: 2-18-2026

    The hotel offers own security line before getting into Citywalk. Made it to number 5 in line for park entry. Takes 10 minutes to walk to front gate! Worth the value for stress free.

    The Kitchen waitress was rude and sassy. Assumed my child was a certain age without even. Didn’t expect her attitude and sarcastic comment to my family!

    Location, comfortable, cleanliness, facilities

    The room was very cold despite the heating being on full blast. The only water available in the room cost $8.

    10JuliaPosted on: 2-4-2026

    The vibe was amazing!!!!! We would absolutely stay here again! We loved all the display rock memorabilia everywhere and the location can’t be beat! Also, the hairdryer in the room was even amazing, I went and bought one once we got home

    We liked everything!

    Underwhelming. Paid a lot to...

    Room location was noisy (overlooking main entrance) with people coming and going all night.

    10PatriciaPosted on: 1-27-2026

    The room was comfortable. The location was great for what we were doing and the pool was awesome. Restaurants were amazing.

    Expensive overall but still a good experience.
