Great

Stayed here previously and it wasn’t good. So was very nervous at paying to stay here again. Katie on check in was great. Really took time and made us feel welcome. All staff were happy. Did have a long wait one day for scrambled egg. But the host was great at resolving it. Only complaint really is that it was very expensive for drinks in hotel. But it’s supply and demand. So expected I would come again. I’ve read that the hotel has had a refit. But I didn’t see any differences to previous.
Definitely a favorite Orlando hotel

Our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the energy of the hotel instantly set the tone fun, stylish, and welcoming. The property is beautifully maintained with a cool rock-and-roll ( pop in some magical areas) vibe woven into every corner, yet it still feels relaxed and family-friendly. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made our stay feel a little more special. We loved how close the hotel was to the parks—being able to walk or take the quick water taxi made our days so much easier. Plus, the early park admission was a huge perk and truly enhanced our experience. Every staff member we met was kind, upbeat, and genuinely eager to help. Gave my kid a little birthday surprise which really made the experience memorable. From the front desk to housekeeping to the pool attendants, everyone went out of their way to make sure we felt taken care of. The pool area was another highlight—great music, plenty of space to relax, and an overall atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. Dining on-site was excellent as well. Our waiter was a taller young man with dark hair, didn’t get his name but he was really kind to my kid. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served with the kind of attentive hospitality that makes you want to come back again. Overall, the Hard Rock Hotel delivered a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and personality. We left with great memories and would happily return for another stay much longer than a couple days. Highly recommend!
