I only have this 4 stars because there were a few things that fell short to what would have been five stars- the rooms were small And the placements of the mirror (although cool gesture to see what rock stars are your height) the placement of the mirror was awkwardly positioned. No one could get a full view of themselves farther than 2 feet from the mirror as the bed was in the way. Also, on a Saturday night we were expecting some fun activity happening in the lobby area, like maybe Music Bingo, or some sort of trivia or karaoke . There was nothing except the velvet lounge open for just 21 and over—- the singer was fantastic. We were expecting to continue the high energy from the park and rides at the most rocking’ hotel on the property. Also, the complimentary water cooler was always empty and needed refilling. Other than those details but key I believe, the service was great the accessibility to transportation to city walk and attractions were wonderful.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t an awesome experience. We were not informed that the hotel was under construction until we checked in this month that they were gonna shut the water off in the rooms from 9 AM to 5:30 PM that included not being able to use your toilet upon arrival, we were not happy. We were putting our bags on the bed. A cockroach across there wasn’t much follow up from this experience, we were asked to sleep there if they sprayed could they come in and spray and maybe we still sleep in there of course refused the new room was fine after that it was ADA compliant, which I don’t love but it did the Job Unheard of type of experience, including cockroaches on your beds. Did they choose to offer anything or even check in with us the following day.

Spring Break

Always a great time at the Hard Rock. We Always try and stay on the 7th floor for the reception area. We didn’t use it much this trip but it’s nice to have that option. Some construction noise around our hotel room that was rather noisy … the hotel did bring this to our attention at check in but would have been nice to know ahead of time. Self parking is expensive but what isn’t these days if you want nice things and stay at nice places .
