Not worth the expense
Pros:

The casino was large with many slots and tables. Shops and restaurants were interesting. Food and drinks at the pool bar was good.

Cons:

Arrived at 6:15 after a long day of flying and our rooms were not ready and we ended up in separate towers even though we requested rooms on the same floor. One pool was closed do to glass, the towel hut was unattended, no towels available. Extremely noisy not peaceful in the pool. The pool closed at 8. My room smelled of smoke even though we asked for nonsmoking rooms. Over priced hotel, pictures on the website are not representative of real hotel.

Horrible customer service, overpriced and very disappointing representation of the Hard Rock brand
Pros:

Close proximity to music venue

Cons:

We arrived.. no valet to meet us at curb… Not told where to park..no greeting at all?
I walked inside and eventually found a valet to help with our bags..he then complained about how little he was payed by Hard Rock the whole time and begged for a tip!
Slow service every time we needed it..Front desk check in.. check out and at pool restaurant…and the room
Cost was outrageously expensive for what was received. A basic room with 1 queen beds for over $1000 is ridiculous. Bathroom had hairs in the shower. We got ID’d (we are 55 years old) for drinks by the pool and did not have passports with us(we are at the pool!) so no relaxing margaritas for my wife. Pool area (and seating) was dirty and towels were old and faded…and we were limited to only one towels each? Why?

And the final FAIL on your part was that you DO NOT OFFER a shuttle to the concert venue next door … so another $40 to be driven across the street!

WOW… incredible fail on multiple levels this time team!

Very disappointing $1500 spent at your venue.

Pros:

I had made a reservation weeks before and was really looking forward to it. We pulled up to park, I went in to check it out and like all other reviewers the smoke hit me like a ton of bricks and I smoke. We were only reserved here for one night but frankly, the characters we saw around this place were alarming to me and I did not feel safe. Combined with what we saw and a past review about bed bugs made us rethink our decision to stay here. We ate the charges and the $150 cancellation fee and opted for another hotel. I don't gamble, we were only here for the hotel. We were traveling from Texas and had made reservations for our return trip but after what I saw I canceled our reservations.
I refuse to be a part of this predatory business model.

Cons:

I did not like the massive waves of smoke billowing out of the casino into every other part of this complex. I did not feel safe there. This complex is massive and all we wanted to do was rest. The atmosphere seem predatory. Dirty and not safe.

Them against us that's their mentality
Pros:

What this gentleman is saying I strongly believe it's probably happening to him my problem is in the poker room I've been playing poker at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino of Tampa for something like 26 years and I've never seen my luck go from good to worse as soon as they put those automatic shuffles in the table I have something to tell most people if you don't know this already the automatic shuffler is built for the house not for the players it's made to make sure that everyone gets a fair shot if you can believe that or not I believe that their programming it to do exactly what they want to especially when you have a high hand certain days they do this out of the month where you receive $1,000 every 15 minutes every 20 minutes $1,000 every hour off and on this is the promotions that we put our money off the table and this is their promotions is actually the players money this is not something that the house is given you or the player this is the Players money and you don't even have a choice in the matter my thing is I've been playing here and I noticed certain things you have a director of the poker room he is worthless in my opinion because he doesn't do anything to correct the problems that the players are having in this poker room I've been complaining about two individuals husband and wife managers working the same shift the same time in this poker room for years if that's not a conflict of interest how can you have two husband and wife supervisors working the same shift my other issue is they allow dealers in supervisors to have two hats with what I'm saying about this here is one minute they are supervisor then the next minute they're dealing cards that should not be allowed because that's a conflict of interest also that right there means that if you have a complaint with a supervisor then next minute you see this supervisor dealing you cards and dealers make salary pretty much off the players will you tip them and it will make it very difficult or make it so you would not want to have a problem with a supervisor acting as a dealer and if you really want to they can destroy your hand by making a mistake and if they're a supervisor acting as a super as a dealer where is your complaint going.
