Room was great. Bed and linens were the best. Wanted to take home with me. Down mattress top. Flat screen tv. Shower with 3 shower heads. Rates were reasonable. Casino was clean and not crowded so easy to get to a machine or a table. Took advantage of the Spa and it was very relaxing.

Stay away from the buffet unless you want to pay full price, put up with rude response for the non-existent early bird discount (can be had if you wait in line to get their 'club card'). Boldly advertised on web site "Be sure and join us every Wednesday and Friday for buffet special discount. Special discount pricing for Friday is good until 6pm. Early Bird Special $5.00 off 4pm-6pm Sunday Monday Tuesday and Thursday."

Traveled to Biloxi by boat on long voyage and stayed in adjacent marina. We called the hotel earlier and requested to pay for spa and health club services. We were told all was fine for a $10 fee. After seven hours travel, we walked into the Hard Rock and entered the Spa area where we were rudely dismissed by the manager who said we were not allowed to enter. We checked with the front desk manager who assured us that we could go to the Spa for a $20 fee. Once again, the Spa manager said no! Now, we ate at their restaurant, gambled in their casino and planned our stop at a marina in Biloxi based on an end of day workout to relax. Stay away from this place as they obviously don't need anyone's business in this bad economy and if you try to give them business, you would think you are doing them a favor. I suggest that they get their act together and Beau Rivage is next door for those wanting a friendlier reception.

We just got back from a 2 night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel/Casino in Biloxi. We were 10 guys, there for a bachelor party, so we chose it over the Beau Rivage (which some of us have stayed at before) due to what we imagined would be a much more 'happening scene'.

Overall we had a decent stay. We paid about $300 a night for each room - in my opinion, that is very expensive for the location and the room type (standard). Our view was of a concrete wall - we were told at check in that 'all internet-booked rooms get that view'. Never mind the underhanded insult, for $300 one would expect some sunlight in the room! Check in was not good - the two check in attendants could not have been less interested. Took forever, didn't smile, and just overall not a good first impression.

Here is the rest of the recap:
- Rooms: the room was very nice, well appointed (flat screen TV, comfortable bed, great bathroom), but again, for $300, it could have been a bit nicer. I willl say the shower (with 3 heads) was incredible.
- Pool: The pool was nice, although a bit small for the crowds that gather. By lunchtime all the chairs were gone and people were sitting on the ground.
- Casino: a decent size, good vibe, somewhat friendly staff.
- Buffet: just average. Not worth paying full price (for breakfast that was $12 a person), but still a good option to fill up.
- Vibe Restaurant: very disappointing. We chose this over Ruth's Chris (also in the hotel) thinking, with a name like Vibe it was to be pretty chic. It was an odd mix - average food, expensive, and a piano player (who plays only on Friday and Saturday nights) playing old show tunes! The service was decent at least.

Overall we had an average weekend. Next time I go back I would probably choose the Beau Rivage over this one. It is classier, the service is much better, and most importantly I think the value for money is better.
