Great hotel, great location but could do a lot more.

Great hotel to stay at. Room key gives you express pass for most rides in the parks, except Volcano bay and Hagrid’s motorcycle ride. Rooms are not that big and complementary coffee each morning is sparse. More coffee please. Would like to see fruit bowl each week. Pool lounges are booked early but no one on them. Life guard should remove them after a certain time. Our biggest gripe was the noise in the corridor at night. Shouting screaming and kids & drunken adults running around. Get some respect!!! For the price we paid we expected complimentary shuttle runs to the airport and back.
Universal for Spring Break

We had a very nice 3-night stay at the Hard Rock. It was pricey but everything worked, the staff was very kind and helpful, and the location (for visiting Universal) was perfect. The beds and linens were very comfortable and housekeeping kept things really squared away. We had breakfast all 3 mornings at the Kitchen (their main on-site) restaurant and were taken such good care of by Marie, Jean, & Shana. I would love to come back some day.
