Unfortunately, this wasn’t an awesome experience. We were not informed that the hotel was under construction until we checked in this month that they were gonna shut the water off in the rooms from 9 AM to 5:30 PM that included not being able to use your toilet upon arrival, we were not happy. We were putting our bags on the bed. A cockroach across there wasn’t much follow up from this experience, we were asked to sleep there if they sprayed could they come in and spray and maybe we still sleep in there of course refused the new room was fine after that it was ADA compliant, which I don’t love but it did the Job Unheard of type of experience, including cockroaches on your beds. Did they choose to offer anything or even check in with us the following day.

Spring Break

Always a great time at the Hard Rock. We Always try and stay on the 7th floor for the reception area. We didn’t use it much this trip but it’s nice to have that option. Some construction noise around our hotel room that was rather noisy … the hotel did bring this to our attention at check in but would have been nice to know ahead of time. Self parking is expensive but what isn’t these days if you want nice things and stay at nice places .

Felt welcome from the minute we walked through the door, the VIP Service team are amazing and went the extra mile for our daughter’s 10 birthday. Highly recommended and worth the extra cost for the express passes and walking distance to the main 2 parks we visited.

Never again

Arrived at 20:30 with my wife and baby, only then they let us know that They where having renovations on the floor below, and that everyday there was gona be a lot of really laud noises, and also no running water from 9 am to 17:00pm , they only let us know that when checking in, absurd when paying a 700 dollar daily, the least they should offer is a good discount, or let us know in advance about this trouble ,also i asked for a baby crib that wasnt there when i arrived, and it took then more than a hour to bring one, it was 22:00 pm, and my baby was sleeping, overall woulf never stay there again, people on the front desk difnt seem to care about any of this, just keept their smug faces and smiles, thats why Disney thrives every year, there is no competition!! Not even close
