Had a blast staying here ! great service, location, clean room. its a hard rock hotel after all.
Great stay with the kids. Super convenient when visiting the waterpark as there is a dedicated entrance from the Hotel. Only negative you need a car ride to go to restaurants outside the Hotel

Great service from staff, friendly and helpful. Swimming pool is a little small but good enough if not crowded.
Food options were bit limited but breakfast has a wide variety and changes daily.

Love the vibes. We were there to attend our daughter’s wedding and most of our guests stayed at Hard Rock.
Those who stayed in other hotels regretted not picking Hard Rock !

This is my fourth stay at Hard Rock, and it always feels like home. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of offering breakfast as early as 4:30 AM for race participants, as well as the convenient bike cleaning towels and washing area. One area that could be improved is the Wi-Fi signal, which tends to be weak. Overall, though, it’s always a worthy and enjoyable stay.

Overall an OK stay. Property could be better up-kept. Cleanliness wise still OK. Staffs were very friendly. More suitable for family stays instead of couples without children. Breakfast was just average.

The stay was amazing. Unfortunately the superior double had 2 super singles instead of 2 queen beds which was what I expected. The hotel did compensate by giving us free entry to the water park so I think it’s alright. The rest of the stay was amazing with amazing service!
