“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

My husband and I had a getaway night on a Saturday at the Hard Rock. Service was exceptional from check-in to check-out. After a speedy and friendly check-in, we easily found our room on the top floor with a balcony and view of Petco Park. Our room was comfortably furnished and trendy. Loved the double shower! We had a quick drink at Float, the hotel's outdoor bar, and was able to enjoy the fire pits and view before the club crowd arrived. The hotel is perfectly located in the Gaslamp Quarter and an easy walk to the bars, restaurants and clubs. We had a great dinner at a Thai restaurant recommended by the very helpful and friendly concierge staff member. We ate breakfast onsite at MaryJane's and it was fantastic! The food was excellent, complete with a very well made Bloody Mary.

I have to say although we were only there one night, we would definitely stay again. There is a very energetic and fun vibe at this hotel and every member of the Hard Rock team we encountered was so friendly. We've stayed at many chain hotels where it felt like staff was going through the motions, but every one we met at the Hard Rock really made us feel welcome.

“Hard Rocks as usual”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Just decided to have a quick stay-cation seeing as we only live 30 min away. The Hard Rock always makes us feel like we are really getting away though. The staff is amazing and super helpful. The vibe of the hotel is always chill and we always meet cool people when we stay here. We had a great time as usual and will be back soon.

“Going to Sea World”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

We decided to go to Sea World during the Thanksgiving holiday and wanted to stay at a GREAT hotel and that we did. The Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp District was fantastic! Thanks for everything...

“Hard Rock Review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

The hard Rock hotel is the best hotel in Gaslamp. It is in the heart of everything going on, The amenities are amazing, the pool party during the summer is like vegas in San Diego. The service from The time you get there untill the time you walk out is world class. I've stayed in many hotels due to traveling constantly for work and I can say that when in San Diego I will never stay anywhere else!
