Didn’t get told that first floor was pet floor
Our stay was great as usual until the dogs down the hallway started barking against one another like a barking war. When we checked in we were told that if we wanted a first level room that it was ready now. This being 8:30am on check in day. So we said absolutely so we had a place to rest halfway through the day. Come to find out, the first floor is the pet floor. First issue, when we checked in, and my wife was told about the room availability, we were never informed that the first floor was the dog floor. Second, if we would’ve known that the first floor was a pet floor. We would’ve never opted into getting into our room early because my wife and I have severe pet allergies. After a very unrestful night of sleep, my wife and I decided to check out early, and just park our car back over at the garage cause we didn’t want nothing to do with the hotel since they fell to tell us that we were on the pet floor. We have stayed here before and have never had an issue. However, when you go to check into a hotel , if there is a pet floor, there should be a right to know for the customer while checking in. Because of my wife’s allergies, she was not able to sleep at all that night. Therefore, we had a very expensive TV to watch and that was it. the manager addressed in the morning and things were taking care of other ways. Hard Rock is a great hotel because of the pool, the environment, and the food at the resort. However, not being told about the pet floor was inexcusable.

Absolutely excellent place to go with or without kids! Staff is more than friendly and courteous . Everything is clean. And service is prompt. The only thing that is so small to me but may affect someone else differently is our phone in the room didn’t work a few times I thought to order room service but couldn’t because the line was not functioning. Like I said a very small thing to me didn’t matter we just went out to eat instead. Other a phenomenal experience!!

Obviously the main benefit of staying here was the universal express passes but without those the room would not justify the high cost. Had an issue with a charge on our account after we had checkednout, but was soon rectified after i contacted them to query it. Spent a couple of hours at the pool which was really nice, with entertainment and quizzes being provided by the pool DJ
