Just got back from the Hard Rock for a two night visit and am happy to report it is as great as ever! We went for a short three day visit for my son's birthday, Feb. 18-20th. The hotel room was as well maintained as last year and the staff were great. We were on the fourth floor all the way at the end of the hotel in a corner pool view room. It was convienent because the stairwell to the pool and walkway to the parks was right outside our door. We got our milk and cookies both nights and they sent him up a birthday card and chocolate gift. We ordered room service and the pizza was so-so. One of the highlights was the pool. On our day of check-out we rented cabana 10. It was so much fun. One hint for this cabana is that the pool speakers are right next to the cabana so it is LOUD. If you have small children who might want to nap you can forget this cabana. We loved the service, the fruit bowl and refrigerator stocked with sodas and water. We ordered lunch and enjoyed eating it in the cabana and it was perfectly located to watch my boys on the slide and in the pool. We stayed till about eight p.m. and then left. The bell staff brought our overnight bag to the cabana and put the rest of our luggage in our car. When we were ready to leave we just pulled the curtains closed and changed our clothes. We then went to the Animal Kingdom lodge for dinner at Bomas and then checked into the Howard Johnson's Maingate East for our final night. Boy was that a let down after the Hard Rock (but still a clean, safe and CHEAP place to stay!). We can't wait to go back for our two week April visit. Any questions please let me know!!!
