1 night in Hard Rock Hotel

We (2A) are going to Orlando for 12 nights next May, staying at CBR for the whole thing. However I am thinking of booking a night during this time at the Hard Rock Hotel to get the 2 day fast passes at Universal. Just wondering where everyone usually books this? I've never booked a one off night anywhere!
Thanks

I have used various hotel booking sites and booked direct too.

Travel Republic gave us best price couple of times, and that worked well as only a small deposit to pay until a few weeks before the stay.

Paying a small deposit sounds good

I know prices fluctate all the time but is there there a better time of year to book this (like when offers are out) or should I just do it asap?

I booked one night at the Royal Pacific (which is often slightly cheaper than the Hard Rock) through Booking.com who were the cheapest at the time.

I got free cancellation with the booking so keep checking to see if any of the others have an offer on or there are better deals!

I booked for our October trip using our Tesco Vouchers through Hotels.com, but I did get them to price match prior to booking (I kept them on the phone whilst I booked). I also found that Virgin Holidays were slightly cheaper than Travelbag for Hard Rock.

Used booking.com for Hard Rock in '16, and in '18 we went direct via the Leows site for it's sister hotel Royal Pacific.

I have no loyalty, so checked for offers, deals etc.

If you with the AA here check out the price for AAA (its affiliated) going direct with HRH. Thats what we did & it was the best price we could get but that was a couple of years ago. We also got an upgraded room as well (whether that was booking direct through them or not Im not sure)

Hey we did this last year and just shopped around. The British Airways website was the the best price for us last year and we had no problems. We got to hard rock around 6.30am and they gave us our key/pass there and then and we were in universal studios for the early extra hour on site guests get then went back around 4pm and went to our room.
