Excellent location and comfortable room, slow reception
I stayed at the Hard Rock hotel for the San Diego Half Marathon. I booked a studio with king bed on high floors. The room had a nice view and overall the design was fun. The bathroom was small but well equipped. Great location and good value, and Nobu was one of my favorites. It is not as big as other nearby hotels which gives Hard Rock a more personal feel. My experience would have been better if I didn't have to wait in line for a long time both check-in and check-out. The reception was definitely understaffed and they were not particularly friendly. If I return to SD I will keep this hotel as an option but definitely check out others.
