Which hotel is closest to Universal?

My husband and I are going to Universal towards the end of May. We were wondering which hotel or hotels(so we have some options) are closest to Universal? The only way we are going to stay at one of the Universal hotels is if we can go in time for the Florida resident rates. But if we don%26#39;t catch those, what are the other hotels.

Which hotel is closest to Universal?

If not staying at Hard Rock, Portofino or Royal Pacific, the next best thing would be Holiday Inn %26amp; Suites ( right accross the Street), or Doubletree Hotel ( right at the entrance ), IMO.
