Even the on-site sushi restaurant, Nobu San Diego, is chic.

It is a very LOUD hotel
The hotel itself is new and the amenities are ok. I stay there with my friend for two days. We have two rooms located on 3rd floor, it is regular king bed room and it facing the ocean. The pub downstair is very loud on Sunday, my friend waked up by the noise at 2 am. On Monday morning, they have constraction going on from 8:30 AM and wake me up. I go down to the lobby and try to talk with the clarks, they are not nice and told me the noise is came from outside. I am so angry and go to 4th floor and the constraction is there. finally they agree to change the rooms for us and upgrade us to king suites. If you are ok with the noise, yes it is a very stylish hotel and have fun. If not, it is not a good choice for you.

SPRING BREAK
I chose The Hard Rock Hotel because of my son... Spring Break... He hooked up with the young crowd... I was out for some R&R My request for a room on the top floor and away from the elevator was honored - Thanks a lot to the Reservation Department!!! Now the check in check in staff... I guess I should not have expected "warm & fuzzy" (I guess they must be "cool" in order to uphold the "Hard Rock" ambiance) The location was EXCELLENT Easy access to ALL the attractions, great restaurants and transportation. Shout out to Housekeeping and to the Staff at Mary Janes... Excellent Service Expensive Oatmeal... but Yum... so delicious and worth it!!!

Great Location, clean and fun
I stayed for 5 nights this past February 2012. Perfect location if you are going to the convention center, just walk across the street. The people at the front desk were not very helpful. I got different stories about the charge for the internet. At the end, they charged me a “Resort Fee” that was more than on line travel agency told me. I was in a rush to catch a plane so I didn’t have time to argue about the extra $20. The hotel is a fun place to stay, music in the lobby and all around. The weekends get loud but once in my room it was quiet. The room was modern, clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was roomy and very clean. It had a nice 2 head shower.

good location and friendly staff
Overall great experience and fun trip. I would say that I don't think it's a spot for guests looking for a quiet stay. The nightclub is pretty loud through the night and can be heard from the rooms and we were on the top floor, but we were so tired it didn't matter. The staff was very helpful and friendly!
