Traveler Reviews
See what other travelers say about Hard Rock Cafe
Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort
Staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort was an absolute delight. The room was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of comfort and a great sense of openness. What really stood out was the convenient location—just a short walk or quick drive from the Vieland Outlets, making shopping trips effortless and enjoyable. The entire experience felt like a perfect blend of luxury and value, with friendly staff and excellent amenities. I’ll definitely be returning for another stay!
First Floor Vista Cay Condo Wfree Resort Access
Staying at this First Floor Vista Cay Condo was a major disappointment. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and creaky, making it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep—we ended up cutting our trip short just to escape the discomfort. The unit also showed signs of neglect: peeling paint on the walls and bathrooms that didn’t meet basic standards for a commercial property. When we reached out to the platform about the bed issue, we were told they weren’t responsible. After checking out early, we asked for a partial refund or discount for the unused days, but were denied without explanation. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations—poor quality, lack of support, and no goodwill from the management. Definitely not worth the price.
Coco Key Hotel & Water Park Resort
The Coco Key Hotel & Water Park Resort is an absolute gem! The water park facilities are incredible—especially the slides, which are super fun and perfect for both kids and adults. If you check in early, you can head straight to the park and make the most of your day without any delays. There's also a food court inside the resort, so you never have to worry about finding something to eat—plenty of options available right on-site. It’s incredibly convenient and makes the whole experience seamless. Plus, it’s easy to get to, even if you're relying on public transit. This place offers fantastic value and unforgettable fun—definitely a top pick for family trips!
Homewood Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista - Orlando
Staying at Homewood Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista was a positive experience overall. The amenities were well-maintained—especially the laundry and fitness facilities, which felt clean and modern. The rooms themselves were comfortable, with a cozy bed and spotless condition. Daily housekeeping was thorough, and the staff were consistently polite and helpful. Breakfast was a highlight: varied, satisfying, and suitable for all ages in my group. That said, there were a few minor drawbacks. The pool is smaller than what’s shown in the promotional photos, and the elevator feels outdated and slow. Also, the provided shampoo and body wash left my skin feeling dry, so I ended up using my own products. Parking costs $25 per day, which is a bit steep. Still, considering the quality of service, cleanliness, and location near major attractions, it’s definitely worth the price. I’d book here again without hesitation.
Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center
I only stayed one night, but it was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the theme parks and surrounded by great dining options and shops. The room was spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful sleep. The front desk staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. It’s clear they take pride in their service. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Orlando—it’s a top pick for both convenience and comfort.
Rosen Inn Closest to Universal
Staying at Rosen Inn was an absolute delight! Located just steps away from Universal Studios, the convenience couldn’t be better—no long walks or transfers, just a quick stroll to the park. The room was clean, well-designed, and spacious for the price. The only minor note is that the bathroom is a bit compact, but the smart dry-wet separation makes it feel much more functional and comfortable than expected. The bed was incredibly cozy, perfect for a good night’s sleep after a full day of theme park adventures. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value with its unbeatable location and thoughtful layout. If you're visiting Orlando and planning to hit Universal, I highly recommend Rosen Inn—it’s the best balance of comfort, convenience, and affordability.

Everything about this stay was top-notch—cleanliness, service, and value all hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Orlando for work or leisure.

Our room was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep after long days at the parks. What really stood out was the friendly and attentive staff; they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even offered helpful tips on visiting nearby attractions. Location-wise, it’s just a short drive or transit ride away from all the major theme parks, saving us valuable time and stress.

Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando
Staying at Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk or quick ride to major attractions like Disney, making it super convenient for families or tourists planning a busy itinerary. The hotel faces an interesting building with a unique look (kind of like a quirky landmark), which adds character to the area. Inside, there’s a mini Starbucks in the lobby—perfect for grabbing a morning coffee before heading out. There's also a small convenience store nearby, though prices are on the higher side, but it's handy for last-minute essentials. Cleanliness is top-notch throughout the property, and the room itself felt fresh and well-maintained. One thing to note: no complimentary bottled water or kettle provided in the room, which could be inconvenient if you’re used to brewing tea or hot drinks. However, the room does come with a microwave, which is useful for heating up meals or snacks. Breakfast is solid—good variety and quality, though sadly no Chinese options. Still, plenty of American-style choices to keep everyone happy. The elevator area has a soda vending machine and ice maker, so you can always grab a drink or ice late at night. All in all, this place offers excellent value, great access, and a comfortable stay. I’d definitely return.
