The Reviews are Trickling In: Hard Rock Hotel is Okay



Not wonderful, not amazing, not "oh my freaking God Cindy Crawford was there! CINDY CRAWFORD!" just, "ehh, it's alright." The hotel doesn't "offically" open until December 12, so they do have some time to work out the kinks, and there are (apparently) some kinks. From Hotel Chatter.com


So far, guests have posted four reviews, averaging out at a 3.5 (out of five) overall rating. Though the hotel is living up to its "so stylish it hurts hype," guests are still feeling the growing pains of a three-week-old hotel. Here's a snippet of our favorite comments so far, ranging from the satisfied:


So many details of thought are immediately apparent in the design of this hotel. It is clearly a state-of-art building, showcasing the best in the industry. The hotel is very modern, truly a contemporary design dream come true!


to the irritated:


I learn from the first review that the official opening of the hotel is not until December. That would explain the maintenance guys running around doing stuff and finishing off the pool area.

to the downright nitpicky (we can identify):


the towels were those strange cotton towels that feel nice to the touch, but just seem to move the water around. The bathroom and halls smelled of rotten eggs---seems to be a ventilation problem. One elevator was out of service and there was no lighting in the spa/workout room one morning.
