I rarely write negative reviews, but this is one of the worst hotel experiences I've had in a long time, and would absolutely not recommend this hotel or ever stay here after our experience today. We made reservations EIGHT months ago for 4 rooms to stay here for the Crisp Summit back in Match for November, and had high expectations, since Crisp recommend it as a partner conference hotel. We checked in online two days in advance, so they knew we were coming. We had "guaranteed" check in for 3 pm for 4 rooms.
However, when we showed up at 10:30 pm after a long flight, it was a total nightmare. Only one of the four rooms was available; they claimed to have HVAC issues with some rooms, and asked us to please wait while they sorted it out.
I had booked a guaranteed King high floor, but the only room they said they had left was a 2 Queen room, so I went up to check it out. It was very odd, and definitely not designed for business travelers. It had no desk, desk chair or desk lamp, just a counter and a "square" to sit on, It also had no closet, no dresser, drawers or shelf. Just a place to set your suitcase and a rack w/ some hangers. And this was for almost $300/night.
Meanwhile, people who said they had just booked their room TODAY were allowed to check in. We thought we'd just have a drink at the bar while we waited, but no such luck - the bar at this Hard Rock was already closed, so just had to sit in the lobby. After waiting 1-1:2 HOURS, from 10:30 pm to midnight, they still didn't have rooms for the 4 of us, so we had no choice but to book rooms nearby at the Omni, where they treated us professionally and promptly checked us in. Would absolutely never book at this Hard Rock again, would not recommend them, and hope Crisp no longer does business with a hotel who treats its valued clients this way.
