Within a 5 mins walk to the universal theme park gates, this is the greatest strength of the hard rock hotel. The rooms are dated, unclean, dusty and in dire need of a refresh considering the premium rates charged. Dinner at the Palms restaurant was very nice, must try the lobster.

Staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgable. Room was was comfortable and clean. The text message service was great. Quickly responded too and always with friendliness - nothing to big or small. Asked for some English breakfast tea for the room and it was delivered swiftly. The bar and pool were great..a bit pricey but expected. Getting express passes for Universal (2 days per day booked) was amazing and worth worth the cost to stay.

Great Perks for Staying Here
I stayed here because of the Express Pass perk. My stay wound up being almost the exact same cost as staying at a budget Universal resort hotel and then adding on the passes. Next time I'll try a different resort because there was nothing really special about the space besides the location and the add-ons (like Early Park Admit and the Express Passes). The pool was nice, and you can pool hop to any Universal Premium Resort which is awesome. The front desk folks were amazing, as was the entire staff. The rooms were nice but not as well-appointed as I expected.
