The bathroom was kind of small. But there was a sink inside the bathroom to wash your hands and one outside of the door for prepping so that definitely helped speed things up in the morning.

Worked with a 4 digit keypad entry
We had originally booked a standard view room through Travelocity. About a month after booking I called Hard Rock directly to see what the AAA room rates were- turns out that was a much better deal. They were sold out of standard view rooms, but we booked a garden view for less money. No cancellation penalty with Travelocity, so this is what we ended up with:
WE LOVED THESE VIEWS!!!
A couple of minutes after we entered the room, a guy came in to see if we needed anything in the mini bar or ask if we wanted him to take the key away. He took the key. I was told by a friend that if I asked, they would clear the fridge for you to use during your stay, but we didnt bother.
A few moments after that someone from housekeeping came by to see if we needed anything. We mentioned that we would like to have a rollaway bed delivered to the room ($25 per night). About 5 minutes after she left, our phone rang
This is Star Service, we received your request for a rollaway and we will be bringing one to your room
30 seconds after that
This is Star Service again. You dont need to wait in your room for the rollaway. We will deliver it while you are out
Sweet! If this is Star Service, sign me up!!!
We took their advice and cleared out of the room- Universal Studios was our destination and we will get to that, but my next update will be:
On Tour at the Hard Rock Hotel

ETA: I think someone asked if we stayed club level at the Hard Rock. We did not. The main draw to us for staying club level is the breakfast to get you going before hitting the parks. Two years ago, we booked CL at Portofino, not realizing that breakfast didn't start until 7 am, the same time WWoHP opened. We did not make that mistake again this year. But I have had my yearly quota of Poptarts!
