Great Location
This hotel is in an excellent location on Michigan Ave. The lobby is very small and there didn't seem to be much happening. The bar area was small and crowded and after 10 mins of not being able to get a drink, we left and found fun elsewhere. We were all disappointed with the lack of memorabilia, maybe their bigger hotels or casinos have more. Our room was comfortable but alas it was next to the ice machine which cycled on and off all night long so sleep quality was not good. We live locally and thought this would be a fun weekend get away but were disappointed. I think there are better hotels in Chicago at the same price point as the Hard Rock. Also, as a side note, we all got a strange vibe from the other guests, like they were "too cool for school" because they were staying at the Hard Rock. Seriously people, it's just a hotel and you are not that cool!
