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.

HardRock San Diego
Great hotel, with a great location right around the corner from Petco Park. Tons of bars and food options around the area at the Gaslamp. Service at the hotel was excellent, the room was clean and spacious. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept on. Great hotel, will definitely come back as well as try other Hard Rock locations.

Rooftop bar was closed and uncomfortable bed
Bed was uncomfortable and no rooftop bar was open. That was the main reason to stay there. Staff was great but that bed was horrible did not get a good night sleep. Very disappointed about the roof top bar being closed

Pass on this hotel.
We went on a Padres game night and had a very hard time getting to the hotel because the streets were blocked off. We went to the pool, which needed many furniture upgrades. Overall experience was lackluster and not worth what I paid.
