I absolutely loved our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel! The staff was outstanding! Jasmine checked us in, and gave us a very comprehensive overview of all of the amenities and things to do. I let her know that we were celebrating my son‘s graduation, so we received extra special treatment! The entire staff was outstanding! The hotel grounds and our room were just as advertised and were indeed fantastic. And, the location could not be beat! The only opportunity for improvement would beI more live music, especially because that is the theme of the hotel. We were there six days through the weekend and never encountered that. Other than that, we really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend the hotel to others, as well as return!

I was charge a fee for guest that were stuck in the elevator which I reported. Those were not my guest they never step food inside my room nor did they use my key card to get inside the elevator. It was extremely unsafe, for people to get stuck in the elevator and when reported i ask the client get charged a fee for “damage” that I didn’t cause. Super unfair and fraudulent.

The room was great, however the staff were not too friendly. I get it, it was a busy Saturday with the Deftones concert at Petco and Halloween party inside of hard rock. At check in, I opted for valet service which was the only real customer service I received. The counter person appeared to be overwhelmed however I was the only person in line at the time. When we got back from the concert I tried to claim my free drink at the bar and when I gave him the voucher the bar tender made a face as if it bothered him I was redeeming it. Overall, as my first time going to the hard rock, which I was looking forward to, not sure I’ll be back again.
