Inspector Pick (Eclectic/Unusual): I'm always impressed with the extensive, rotating collection of authentic music memorabilia, not just rock but many genres of music.
The ambience is musically vibrant and rock n' roll is the theme at this gaming resort. As soon as you walk through the doors you can hear the sounds of the slot machines and the shuffle of the cards! The public areas are decorateded with memorabilia, including pictures and clothing from iconic bands and musicians. There are restaurants located within the public areas of the hotel and then many more situated within the Seminole Paradise shops and restaurant food court. There's a spectacular pool area with a slide, a mountaintop whirlpool, an island bar and cascading waterfalls. There is so much to do at this property that it seems unfathomable to leave. There is even a man-made beach for those looking for a more tropical feel. The guest rooms are tastefully decorated in the latest industry styles, which feature 42-inch flat-panel televisions and upscale bedding. Concerts, restaurants, gambling, comedy shows, nightclubs, shopping and recreational activities are all at your fingertips!

Pros: Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Great place to stay when seeing a concert.
Cons: HATED the fact that just to check in to the hotel we had to partially walk through the casino that smelled so incredibly bad of smoke! We had to walk through the casino area every time we went any where which caused our clothes to smell horrific!!
Pros: bathtub was too high for older people like me, could have used a grab bar to get in and out. Could have used a hook on the back of the door for robes etc. Had to wait 1/2 hour for receptionist to get our room check in right (think she was new but should have had someone helping her so we did not have to go through the procedure several times before it was correct. Room was neat and clean, bed was very comfortable. Would have liked to see more restaurants and some shops to check out, other than the casino there was nothing to do.
Cons: the room was expensive enough, why should we pay for parking. Mohegan and Foxwoods do not charge for parking!!

OK time for my birthday,...
Pros: Good variety of casino slot machines. Room was spacious, shower large. The bed was very comfortable and TV got many stations. Personnel were very nice and response to room issues was fairly prompt ! Food was expensive but very good. Lovely area around the pool, with plenty of seating.
Cons: No refrigerator provided for our water and soft drinks. Refrigerator in room was for alcohol nip bottles and we were informed that touching one would incur a charge, even though we didn't open it ! The room could have been cleaner. Bed cover had to be changed because it was stained and dirty. The sinks gurgled and one of them drained very slowly. I brought my bathing suit because the pool in the picture looked so wonderful. However, I didn't swim because it was full of kids and honeymooning (?) adults. The water was murky, uninviting and smelled of chlorine!

Sub par
Pros: The staff whom we came into contact with were exceptional and friendly.
Cons: The smoking in casino was pervasive and disgusting. It permeated our clothing and hair even when we were off property. Additionally, the deleterious effects of second hand smoke upon our health equates to never returning to this resort.

Pros: We like the pool facility very much - feels like in the Caribbean
We also like the variety of different type of restaurants
Cons: The parking lots (there are 2 of them) were a bit difficult to figure out which one should be used by hotel guests (i.e. closer to hotel, since luggages need to be moved) versus casino guests. The signs were not clear

Nice bed and tub
Pros: The room was very nice. The beds were high-end as well as all the furnishings. The soaps were very good quality.
I liked that the bathroom had a soaking tub.
Cons: When I booked, I did not know that the entire entertainment promenade was closed due to renovations in the hotel. I was there was concert so I had something to do but there was no nightclubs or shops open on the outside. However, the hotel and casino was fully operational.

Hard Rock Restaurant not up...
Pros: The Rooms were well presented and kept clean by the helpful friendly staff.
Security was good and car parking was no problem once you asked the staff where do the residents park as the main car park has 5 or so levels .
Cons: The Hard Rock restaurant was a huge disappointment again (last 4 visits in different locations )
The service was very poor and i had to send the meal back as it was presented cold .
The Hard Rock management world wide need to look at this failing as the brand is being let down by sloppy service and poor attention to detail ,staff and managers have to ensure the customer service and the quality of the food Is paramount.
In a restaurant which was less than 30% full this is not acceptable and when i asked for the bill i had to ask firmly to have the meal, which i did not eat removed .
We would normally use the hard rock in most places we visit , not any more VERY Disappointed .
This hotel is sold as a music venue , we could not find live music in any areas over our 4 night stay and when we wanted to use the bar (thursday evening ) it was closed for a private party .
The Hotel is 35+ mins from the center of Fort Lauderdale and with no entertainment in the hotel you are limited for things to do in the evening unless you wish to play the slots or tables .
No entertaimnmnt and a terrible restaurant....... not sure how the other trip advisers made their review , Was not impressed as it was not the cheapest hotel and i did read the reviews before booking .

Disappointed stay
Pros:
Cons: Sadly on the booking .com site we did not notice (or it was not mentioned ) that there was construction work being carried out at the hotel, which caused noise and disruption to our sleep and stay. Despite requesting a non smoking room there was a distinct smell of cigarettes in our bathroom, plus smoking on the casino floor. Had we known all of the above in advance we would not have booked this hotel. The staff at reception did offer to move us to a different room for our second nights stay , which begs the question why put us in that room in the first place ? They did give us a $ 50 credit to spend as an apology.
