The hotel is nice, trendy, upscale and modern; but it's not a place I enjoyed staying at. The music from the club was so loud, it felt as if it were outside our door. The room was nice looking but not comfortable for actual hanging out in or sleeping, The train or trolley came by and was loud. We will... More

Had a wonderful time at the Hard Rock. Even though I was in town for Business I still had a great time with my wife and the people we were traveling with... If you have never stayed at a Hard Rock Hotel - YOU NEED TO!

i stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel for a business conference there last month. The hotel has a great party vibe, with rooms filled with piped music, rock star memorabilia all over, a cool outdoor bar with fire pits in the pool area, happening bar & the Mary Jane restaurant. On the other hand, this isn't the best place to... More

Pros: Hotel is one block from Petco Stadium. Valet parking attendants are friendly, attentive and helpful. Cons: Conciere's are useless with limited information. Cleaning ladies don't clean(glasses rinsed with water instead of replaced while we watched). No coffee maker(MaryJane's extremely slow when purchasing coffee down there). HBO on TV does not have right info. Used manager on one occassion with... More

We stayed here a couple of nights last July. The hotel is luxurious and faces the harbor which makes for a nice view if you are high up. It has many restaurants within walking distance and it has it's own fifties style restaurant that makes amazing breakfast-a bit expensive though. Rooms are comfortable. Also there is a parking place near... More

The location is fantastic! The room was great! The club was predictable and douchey. The notion that as paying guests we were included in the hotels amenities : apparently false. We had vouchers for the club if we got in by 10pm, if not - tough. We assumed we would have a reduced ticket price or even free entry to... More

Wow. I thought that customer service had flown out the window, but my stay here had a couple of particular moments that took me by surprise: checked in on saturday on memorial day weekend and this place was a mad house. When we walked into the lobby, (we had gotten there a bit early, probably 1:00) and we knew our... More

We recently returned from a three night stay at this property. After a short drive from the airport, the hotel is very easy to locate. As others have mentioned, location, location. If you’re planning on staying in the downtown area, you really don’t need a car as everything is very accessible with in walking distance. Located right on 5th street... More

WOW, I cannot begin to express how awesome the staff and hotel are. I was celebrating a birthday with a few girlfriends, and was promptly greeted in the Rock Royalty check-in "green room" with smiling faces and a cocktail, asked what type of music I'd like playing in my room when I walked in- so cool. Then the Rock Royalty... More

For Memorial Day weekend, I hosted a Bachelorette party for my best friend at The Hard Rock San Diego. Let me just say, Spencer is the greatest concierge that has ever existed. He gave 110% to make our stay fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. The rooms are awesome and the pool... More
