We just got back from staying at the Hard Rock and usually stay there once or twice a year. The rooms have been getting updated for the past year and are very nice (and it was needed). We also noticed this time that most of the memorabilia has been replaced, primarily with newer artists material. I don't really like the new memorabilia, but I can see why they are doing it. For example, I believe in one area they replaced Aerosmith material with NSync (or some other band like that). In addition, the lobby area had a couple of murals that were repainted with different artists. They also added a large screen in the lobby that plays music videos through out the day. The music on the video screen also plays throughout the entire hotel, which is a nice touch. Overall its a good renovation that was very much needed.
