Great Location near Universal Orlando
The Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando Map shows how close this property is to the Universal Theme Parks that you can take a leisurely walk through beautiful gardens to get to them. If you have really small kids and will be using a stroller, you might want to take one of the water taxis to reduce a little bit of the walking that you will have throughout the day. If you decide that you would like to visit other attractions while you are in Orlando, the Disney Parks and Seaworld are only about 20 – 30 minutes south of your location. It is hard to beat the location.
