I live about 90 minutes from the parks, so it's not uncommon for me to grab a hotel room if I plan to spend back-to-back days at the parks.
Recently, a friend and I stayed at Universal Orlando's Hard Rock Hotel for the first time. Even though it cost about $860 with all the bells and whistles, we were pretty impressed.
Here's what it was like to spend the night at the Hard Rock.
