Good Points

Great atmosphere, staff were so friendly we ended up hanging around with them after they finished work by the pool.
Loved the layout of the Hotel, including interesting interior from memorabilia to modern restaurants, bars and bedrooms.
Rock music played all day and night long, for me this sometimes was a bad point which I will explain below, but it's also great as it keeps you lively and in the mood - plus the music even plays under the water in the pool!
Not too expensive when considering the hotel lives up to its 5 star status, meals in the hotel were well priced and great quality.


Bad Points

As above I sometimes had problems with the Rock music being played 24/7, I do like rock music but sometimes it was hard to get a little peace as I personally found it difficult to get away from without having to go back to the room. I feel sometimes it's a little loud and the only cure for a headache there in my opinion would be to leave the hotel.
Due to it being a 5 star the actual booking of the Hotel was quite expensive but was well worth it as everything else was cheap, for example the meals, room service and bar...
Apart from that though I have nothing to complain about, would definitely book again when visiting Orlando.


General Comments

I went to the Hard Rock Hotel with my parents, girlfriend, sister and best friend, everyone of us loved the hotel, its atmosphere, layout, staff, price, restaurants, activities, entertainment and music was voted 10/10.
We stayed for two weeks at this hotel which can be considered a long time at one place, but not once did I get bored of it as I felt I could have a great day sitting by the pool without feeling I had to visit a theme park due to the entertainment the hard rock had to offer.

The Hard rock Hotel is around a 3 minute walk from Universal and Islands of Adventure, or a 30 second bike ride. This for us as party was the best aspect of the hotel, no stress was involved with driving... For example if we got too hot, it was too busy, or there was a thunderstorm we could just walk back.
The Hard Rock offered great by the pool entertainment for the kids and adults with dancing, games and much more!

As stated above the music played 24/7 for me personally got slightly annoying when wanting just a little quiet as I found the only way to get away from it was to go back to the room or leave the hotel. Although this is nothing to complain to much about as I suppose it is expected considering the title of the Hotel being 'Hard Rock'.

The hotel was modern yet classy, very nice layout of rooms, bars, lobby, exterior, pool...
Was quite expensive to book, but when considering it lives up to its 5 star status this is nothing to complain about as I feel the hotel was well worth the money.

I would recommend the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando and would definitely stay at this hotel again when visiting the theme parks in Florida!
