The operator does not connect to the front desk or anyone in the hotel so guests are forced to make the trip to ask hotel staff any questions, in person. If traveling with younger kids, keep in mind that they could and probably will be awakened by large groups of inconsiderate party goers on a Friday or Saturday night. We even saw the box from an air mattress sitting next to the trash near the elevator.

They were extremely loud and could easily be heard from the hallway throughout the early AM hours. On the weekend, we noticed many large groups young people. Weekend rates (Friday & Saturday) are on the higher side per night and seem to range between $500 - $1000. For those looking to book, do it earlier as opposed to later for the absolute best rates. There are no kids club programs or child care offered, so plan accordingly. For families with young kids, the pools are the primary amenity. There is no shortage of activities for adults. Guests could easily spend 4 or 5 days here and still have much to do and see. Staying at this casino hotel puts you less than 7 miles southeast of Tampa, Florida's Busch Gardens and 7 miles northeast of the Florida Aquarium.We stayed at the Hard Rock from Saturday to Tuesday. Recent travelers warned that self-parking spaces are limited, so you may have to shell out $25 per day for valet parking. While here, you'll also have access to a spa, three pools and various nightlife venues, not to mention a long list of dining options that serve everything from steaks and seafood to pizza. But if you have the money to burn, consider booking a Gold Suite to enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows and an oversized bathroom with a jetted tub and a separate walk-in shower. All accommodations come with flat-screen TVs, minifridges, coffee makers and Egyptian cotton sheets. In addition to praising the friendly staff, previous guests spoke highly of the gorgeous rooms. However, many of the younger crowds that have passed through this Hard Rock property were more than pleased. For instance, there are probably too many whirring slot-machine lights and too much casino-floor ambiance for either families or business travelers to be truly comfortable at this hotel. 'Niche' is an important word to remember when considering a stay at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.
