Is Hard Rock The BEST Premiere Hotel At Universal Orlando Resort? Full Resort & Room Tour! 

It smells so good! Haha, I don't know what it is, but it's amazing. The walk to the front gate of Universal Studios is insane... literally you could probably be there in like 3 minutes with a quicker pace of walking even. So nice! That'll be really nice for you in October, especially if you're doing HHN!

@@Dillon.Thomas we are going to HHN. Very excited!

@@AndEyeOop Nice!! That'll be amazing to walk back to your resort within 5 minutes after a long exhausting night at HHN haha. Jealous!

That walk after a long night of HHN must be SUPER nice, especially if you're doing multiple nights! No fighting crowds to get through traffic and such, a nice easy walk back in 5 minutes to get to your hotel room, just seems AMAZING for a long stay!

Darn it! One day I WILL BE first! 🤣🤣🤣

@@Sir-Rayhaha! I’m normally never first! It’s only his vids I’m first on!

Haha thank you!! 🤗😎

Appreciate it Craig, happy Friday! Have a nice weekend!! The weathers been awesome, warm, but awesome!

We haven't stayed at any of the resorts yet, so I'm looking forward to being able to stay at a few of them in time! I'm really looking forward to Helios at Epic Universe. That seems CRAZY, plus all of the technology going into the park, I imagine the experience will be insane. I think Royal Pacific and Portofino's theme is so unique, I'd love to try those out at some point. I just have to keep an eye out for those AP discount prices 😅 But those perks are honestly unbeatable! I'd love to see some updating to the resorts, if they've started at Portofino already. I'm all for modernizing a few things for the convenience haha 😄

Haha, I think I knew this was a record player, I think there was too much to take in I goofed hahaha. When I was young my mom used to play records she had all of the time. We actually bought her this electronic one for Christmas just like 2 years ago so she could play her old records! Fascinating to see the progression of music devices and how we play music now haha. Definitely would have liked to see a bigger bathroom/shower, but at least the room was MASSIVE. I've never seen a bedroom that big for a single bedroom in most of these hotels. I'm really hoping to get a stay at the Helios, all things permitting, I think that's going to be an INSANE hotel. Especially with all of the advanced tech they're talking about at Epic Universe. That stinks you guys were screwed out of the houses, but I guess with your express you could just head back over to them. I guess they can't control it, but it would have been nice to have a like an "RIP Tour Ticket" to skip everything if something wasn't going for the night and you could just get right in haha. I've seen a few people do that, but I never know what it's for. Just like 2 random people at a time will completely cut in front of everyone, and I don't know what they were doing. No RIP tour or anything either, so I'm not sure haha. I saw the rain last night at Hard Rock and I'm like uh oh... is it happening again?? Thankfully it seemed pretty light overall. Enjoy another night! I think we're going today and tomorrow. I have to check out the garage sale event both at Universal and Disney before they go away!

Nice! Have fun!! Going to HHN?? I would live to stay at all of the hotels at some point, they're actually very nice and pretty dang affordable from what I see!

@@Dillon.Thomas Yep. Going to HHN. It's only my second time ever at HHN. So excited to go again. The first time was amazingly scary and awesome.

@@autisticantonio Oh nice!!! That's exciting, did you go this last year? It was VERY good. I'm hoping 2024 is a strong one as well!

@@Dillon.Thomas Oh yeah. It was spectacular. My top favorite houses were Monsters Unmasked, Exorcist, Last of Us, Yeti, stranger things, Chucky, Dr Oddfellows Dueling Dragons and Darkest Deal. Quite frankly they were all great in their own right.

@@autisticantonio 100% agree! I think every house was actually really good this year! And I feel like they just got better and better throughout the year!

I think the fact you get express the day you check in and the next day is HUGE! That's 2 days of Unlimited Express for 1 night. That's actually a great value. Especially if you have a family of 4 or more, that could be as much as the hotel, if not more! The walk over is beautiful, too. Just so relaxing and close. I do think it could take a giant tech update and some cleaning up in a few small places. But overall, they've kept up with it for the most part. The hotel itself is very clean and looks like it's in great condition. Just some minor stuff in the room, which I have to point out, as some people are VERY picky about it. And rightfully so, it's an expensive resort, you want to make sure you feel like you got your moneys worth. Overall, love the hotel, and maybe in the future they'll do some of those changes to bring it more "up to date" haha 😅

@Dillon.Thomas Absolutely! My husband wants to go again but I got our next trip booked for Royal Pacific. We've also done Dockside and Surfside! Hoping with our new 15 month annual we can try every hotel at least once! Dockside's cafeteria style food had me hooked with all the options!

Ah! That makes sense haha 😅 I guess I should have tried to think a bit more about the theming of hard rock, and less about "toilet paper" LOL. Thank you for clarifying that 😄

There are standard rooms, yes! We got this one on a very good last minute deal for passholders, so it ended up being like 35-40% off normal rate.

I apologize, this is NOT a standard, I thought you asked if there WAS a standard room. This was a King Suite room.
