Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good
"Excellent location - Gaslamp Trolleys nearby. Ferry nearby. Comfortable room. Except: mattress did not fit the frame. Hit my knees repeatedly. Spoke to management and he rectified the problem. Mattress was comfortable, but the sheet did not fit the bed. Kept slipping off. Mary Jane restaurant, decent breakfast food. Excellent service by the staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends."
