This is good hotel that could overchieve and become The Ritz's cool younger brother. i am confused somewhat at exactly who the hardrock's target audience is....and think the hotel really doesnt care. As with anything Hard Rock, it is definitely not boring. It is a solid hotel and highly recommended if you want to go a hotel where no matter... More

This hotel was definitely cool! Very modern with sleek furniture and a great vibe. The downstairs cafe (Mary Janes i think?) was also great. Best eggs benedict i've ever had! Also great late night food. The hotel is also in a great location, and very close to everything. I have 2 gripes though. #1, one night we got all dressed... More

Fun,funky,delightful hotel We loved the futuristic lobby decorated with rock memorabilia. Our room was very modern and very comfortable The only problem was we were opposite the gym which is open 24 hours a day and we could hear people running on the treadmill at all hours . Special thanks to the concierge,Robbie who was so helpful and friendly .... More

I stayed here with my family as a last minute decision as our go to hotel was fully booked. The check in was smooth and the staff was great, welcoming the kids and entertaining them as we get the room key and paperwork signed off. The room was awesome with a view of the baseball stadium. We ordered a crib... More

I stayed at the San Diego Hard Rock in Gaslamp district. They are more interested in running bars than a hotel. Security lacked on the weekends with general public running through hotel corridors.It lets anybody and everybody in except the actual people staying at the hotel. They will nickel and dime you for everything in the hotel. I'm in town... More

This hotel was great for a friend's weekend, especially for young people. I say that because the hotel was not exactly quiet, as people are up late having a good time. This was not a problem for the group I travelled with! Service was great, room and hotel were fabulously appointed, on-site dance club, restaurants, and pool were all top... More

I loved everything about my stay. It was a while back when they had pool parties on Sundays, not sure if they still do em but what a great time. The rooms are amazing and the employees are great.

The best hotel stay I've ever experienced. And also looooooooved the Tour Manager App, it lets you order room service, contact staff for questions and set up reservation right from the App itself, first time I've seen this.

Fantastic. As a world traveler, I have stayed in many various kinds of hotels and I must say the Hard Rock in San Diego was an especially amazing experience. Although I live 10 minutes from downtown it really took me away from home and felt like a true vacation. Epic. I haven't received that type of service in years. Not... More
