The cheapest room isn't always the cheapest trip.

A Premier room can replace two Express Pass purchases, and an Epic Universe hotel can save an hour of transit a day. Start from the tracked nightly rate, then decide what the premium buys.

Premier

Room rates include Universal Express Unlimited for two parks — often worth more than the room premium.

Hard Rock Hotel

Room rates include Universal Express Unlimited for two parks, and it's the shortest walk to Universal Studios Florida.
