Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, FL

🎸 My Honest Review of the Hard Rock Seminole (Guitar Hotel) – Hollywood, FL Deluxe King Room | 1 Night | $553 all in (tax + resort fee) + $35 valet Occasion: My husband’s 65th birthday Let’s start with the good, because there was good. We tried to self-park, but the signage was confusing no clear direction for hotel guests. After circling a bit, we gave up and went with valet. Honestly? Worth it. Everyone was professional, friendly, and made it easy. No complaints there. I did early check-in through the Unity app, uploaded my license, got the “you’re all set” message… but of course, I wasn’t. It was already past check-in time and still no digital key. So we headed to the desk. The gentleman there was great—helpful and patient. Took a minute to find us because they had the reservation under my first name. Not ideal, but we got it sorted. Now, the hotel itself? Gorgeous. Clean. Lots to do. Every employee we interacted with was eager to help. Big thumbs up on that front. We grabbed a late lunch/early dinner at the food court. It was typical fast food—burger was decent, nothing to write home about—but the area was clean and it was easy to find a table. We had tickets to a show at Hard Rock Live, which was super convenient since it’s right there in the hotel. The venue was beautiful, acoustics were fantastic, and the show itself was absolutely worth it. Breakfast at Rise the next morning? Excellent. We had omelets, home fries, fruit, yogurt, and fresh OJ. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was spot-on. I have changed my original review - Hardrock reached out regarding the room next to the elevator and made it right.

Last week I had the pleasure of staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood. This hotel is absolutely spectacular. I love the way it’s decorated, and the service was really good. It’s the kind of place where you don’t even need to leave in order to enjoy yourself, since it has incredible recreation areas like the amazing pools. On top of that, they host live shows, have a fun casino area, bars, and great music—you really have everything you need to spend the whole day there. The rooms were excellent as well: very clean and extremely comfortable. I truly loved my stay here. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here a thousand times again.

The location was THE BEST! Middle of nowhere in beautiful Okochobee! Beautiful rooms, wonderful staff, great pool. I honestly don’t want to give the secret spot away!! BUT they could use an actual working bar at the pool area OR not and allow BYO! Also, the slots DO need a little more “breaking in” because NOTHING was producing.. i was NEVER UP on any machine.. but we did eat well at Josiah’s and the the Grille (minus the poor selection of tea and their choice to use oj with pulp.. its so much easier to serve only pulp free oj so ALL your customers can drink it.. you eliminate all customers with an aversion to pulp… same goes for tomato sauce- why the chunks? The those who don’t mind a chunky sauce CAN eat and unchunky sauce but those again with an aversion to chunks of tomatoes in a sauce cannot eat it but all CAN EAT A sauce without chunks) it just something where if a choice can be made why go the route to eliminate any customer.. and the this goes for all restaurants.. we are on a campaign to bring this to light!) Overall GREAT STAY and we will be back!!

This place is one of the most prominent luxury destinations, combining raucous fun and refined elegance in the heart of Florida. It is distinguished by its stunning, eye-catching design, especially its famous building in the shape of a giant guitar, which has become a global icon in the world of tourism and entertainment. It offers a comprehensive experience that includes upscale accommodations with the highest standards of luxury, a huge casino that pulsates with excitement, in addition to world-class theaters that host the most famous artistic performances and dazzling concerts. It also includes fine dining restaurants serving dishes from various international cuisines, and a spa that offers moments of serenity and luxury. It is a luxurious world that combines music, luxury, and unforgettable memories.

First time ever going to a casino as an adult and it did not disappoint. Gotta learn how to play the games to win big, but other than that, super fun experience. 1 hour went by so quick. Didn’t even feel like 10 minutes total, but the customer service was top notch. Will definitely be coming back!

Recently visited this casino and was really impressed! The atmosphere is absolutely 100% — from the very first moments you can feel the excitement and special energy of the place. I came here with a friend, planning to spend a couple hundred just for fun, but luck was on my side — I doubled my deposit on the very first slot. Even if I had lost, I’m sure my mood would have been just as great, because the overall vibe and organization here bring tons of positive emotions. A perfect place for bright experiences!

The Sports Bar is definitely the move if you want the same drinks for less than the Center Bar. (Center Bar has the atmosphere but shuts down at 4 a.m. I usually dip around 3 and head over to Amsterdam in Hallandale Beach since they’re open until 5.) The Amphitheater is fantastic. I’ve caught both music events and fight nights there, and honestly every seat has a great view. Daer is a whole vibe. I’ve only been at night, which is always electric, but I definitely want to check out one of their day pool parties. I’ve heard they go off Vegas-style.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida is gorgeous, but honestly way overpriced. Service was just okay. At check in, the lady at the front desk never smiled and wasn’t very friendly, which wasn’t the best first impression. By the pool, we asked for a water and it was 7 dollars. A mimosa was 20 dollars. For those prices, you’d expect amazing service, but it just wasn’t there. It really is a beautiful property, but keep in mind you’ll pay a lot for everything. If you’ve got free rooms or credits, great, but otherwise plan ahead because it is not cheap for what you get. I'd just book a property on Hollywood Beach because it will be cheaper and a better view.

5-29-2025- My first time in a Florida Indian casino- I've always heard and saw social media posts-.. Love how they have a covered parking garage-.. Lots of shops to browse while entering the property-.. On the way to dinner reservations, popped in and it was nice to see - lots of players and variety of games-..

This beautifully designed Guitar Hotel is a landmark in the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood metro area. I brought my nieces here recently to check the place out, play some slots, check out the food court and just experience the music history plaques on the walls. Parking was easy with several options, depending on where you want to go to. There is a non smoking casino area, but it still smelled like smoking...probably from the adjacent smoking sections...oh well.....

Stayed here for a night for a concert at the Hard Rock. The room was SO nice, especially for just being a couple hundred dollars. It had a good selection of things to do around the hotel without being insanely expensive. You get good bang for your buck. The staff was so nice as well. Overall, we feel like staying on the resort property has great value for all you can do in one place.

Love hard rock but I think the slots are a little rig . But love hard a lot. I go everyday

Service is excellent and friendly . Rooms are nice especially in the Oasis section - larger rooms , ( showers are awesome) and this time quieter than the Guitar hotel ( party central) ! The value is great if you get a comped guest room and win $$ in the casino ! The restaurants and food court all have options for everyone ! Not sure we like all the children about especially in the summertime . The free pool loungers leave a lot to be desired . I guess the hotel management wants you inside to gamble $$!

Love the entire experience. We went for a "Pickleball Exhibition" with some past Tennis greats. McEnroe, Agassi, Roddick and Chang. Even Steffi Graf made an appearance. It was fantastic! Afterwards we did a little gambling. I lost a few dollars but my wife won a few, so it was a wash. Always good it walk away - not having made a "deposit". We ended the afternoon with an early dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Food and service were good. We had put our names in before going to gamble so it took about 40 minutes to be called. Perfect timing. Look forward to coming back. The Hotel/Casino is very convenient, located just off of 595, an exit off of 75 in Ft Lauderdale. Beats going into Miami for sure.

Clever Vegas style design & fun memorabilia but everything overshadowed by a smoke filled casino like 1985. It's fun to see Madonna's dress & lady Gaga's outfits plus Neil diamonds car but head to the casino & you're in an ASHTRAY. Pretty shocking for 2023. A small non smoking room with SLOTS is not enough. It's sad that workers and guests are so expendable.NY'ers & non smokers beware!

David at the front desk welcomed me with good energy & a big smile. He went above and beyond to make sure my stay here at the Hollywood Casino was up to par. His positive attitude makes me want to return again. I've spoken to the frost desk a couple of times on this trip and they were just rude & low energy. Thank you David !

True Vegas style casino with real table games. Great place and not too far from the beach. The guitar hotel lights up at night with a synchronized music show and there are pools everywhere. I love this place!

Poor signage led to frustration in finding a valet to park my vehicle. Was told by two valets that they don't park vehicles for Council Oaks at this door. After two tries (same answer) I quit and self parked. There actually attendants there at the parking garage I think . But parking was a complete " Free for All ". Zero organization or direction. We managed to park and found the elevator and found the entrance. Walked in and was immediately hit with a cloud of cigar/cigarette smoke. If I was not being taken out to dinner I would have turned around and left. Walking through the smoke filled casino made me never want to come back. Dinner at Council Oak was good not great as it had been built up to be. The menu did offer enough choices. The servers were professional , but the food service was slow. The steaks were just ok , temp was good but the fat was burnt not carnalized. Not worth the price , have been to to much better steakhouses. Left after dinner , had planned to gamble. Wont be back

Do not see concerts at this venue! We went to see the Eagles, we were up dancing and singing. We weren't being obnoxious, just enjoying a concert like you should. The so called security came over and told us that we were being too loud so we sat down. We did continue to talk amongst ourselves while the security kept an eye on us. Because we were talking, they kicked us out. It wasn't like this was a orchestra or theatre type performance. It was so ridiculous! So if you don't want to have fun at a concert, this is your place to attend!!!

Service was great selection. Was very helpful value was the good i will come back soon

Let's start with the positive since there were only a few. The concierge desk is fantastic! Everyone we dealt with during our stay from there were polite, professional and courteous. Unfortunately this is where the good things end. I was there for a business trip w several colleagues. Just to check in was a nightmare. We were all supposed to have identical rooms and there all wrong. You can't call the front desk from the room for assistance it sends you to a call center somewhere out of state. Try to extend the room because of the flooding and still can't reach the front desk!! We will never go back not on business or for pleasure. Standing in line at the casino to get a players card took forever. The sense of customer service is non-existent and I would stay somewhere else that priorities customer service than this hotel that simply doesn't care about the people staying there.

On our way from Miami to Boca Raton, we stopped by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. There are three parking garages with complimentary parking to all hotel guests and patrons. While shopping for pins at the Hard Rock Shop, Samantha told me that there was another Rock Shop next to the Hard Rock Cafe with different apparel and pins. After purchasing pins from the Rock Shop, Kinji recommended several instagram-worthy spots around the cafe including the HRC sign on the stage and HRC sign above the Messi guitar.
