Has really gone down in last couple of years .
persistentdelta (Atlanta, Georgia) on Jul 04, 2022
The Hard Rock is my go to brand of hotel in many places . The universal locating use to be a must for me and my family because of location and level of service. It's just not there any more . The hotel was so dirty it was unbelievable that it was more that 2 stars. The staff is not as friendly and welcoming as they use to be and good luck with good customer service . They wanna argue with you vs help . I just can't see spending 6-700 a night to not be treated well and for the hotel not to maintain a certain level of cleanliness and service. I was there for 9 days and definitely left feeling slighted.
