Great for the Price
An okay stay. The check-in process was welcoming and exciting. Suite was okay. Balcony is definitely a PLUS! Great views of Gaslamp; very convenient as there's numerous surrounding restaurants and bars and Seaport Village. Our suite was a bit dated; but clean. Rainwaterfall showerhead was awesome, but shower was leaking and you could see the paint peeling in other room from it.Fitness room dated. great rooftop pool and outdoor bar, but bar not open and pool not heated. Hot tub not very hot either.

Housekeeping & Making Coffee
Requested from Concierge two (2) extra blankets and they arrived approx. 20 minutes after the call.
It took four (4) to five (5) times to get the coffee machine to work. Had to plug and unplug three (3) to four (4) times, too, to get the 1st cup brewing.

No Rock at Hardrock!
Decent hotel bathroom door so thin you can hear a person breathing little plate plastic piece!
Called Hard Rock but no music so I asked for record player and they charge for that what a joke! Took my records back home !
Charge to be able to play music !

First time at a Hard Rock hotel, probably the last
We stayed there for 4 days for an international conference and chose Hard Rock hotel due to proximity to the convention center. The hotel itself was quiet, sleek and modern. Unfortunately, our room was cleaned once despite asking for dally services. Front desk was quick and professional but the valet people were gruff and impertinent. My simple question to ask for their street address seemed to be an imposition. Nobu is closed for lunch and opens 530 which was too late for our purposes, so we missed out. We usually stay at other chains because of frequent flyer etc, but thought of availing of something novel. In the end, it was not special or worth the extra expense.
