Great Hotel with and Excellent Gym
Great experience at the Rockerfella. The room was spacious and well maintained. The restaurant and breakfast excellent and one of the best equipped gyms I’ve seen at a hotel. Very good value for money. Need to be a bit careful walking around the area though.

Perfect stay
An excellent hotel! Very clean, with spacious rooms as well as friendly and helpful staff. It was a bit of a mission for us to find hotels that had (proper) bathroom doors - we're happy to confirm that this hotel provides that. :-) We also appreciated that we were able to regulate the room temperature to our likings.

The staff are excellent! And the hotel itself is quite nice. It worked out with our stay, we just made sure we took uber from the hotel which is very convenient when we want to go places…But the area where the hotel is located is not safe to walk around especially at night. I will still recommend the hotel because of the staff’s excellent service. Especially for cruisers since it’s near the cruise ports.

EXCELLENT STAY!!!
This was a great hotel experience. Everything from the front desk reception to the comfort of the bed was wonderful. I love the modern decor of the hotel. All of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. There was no outside noise from the city. I would definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect, but I have only two complaints: 1) the hotel does not provide wash cloths or face towels in the rooms. They only provided bath towels and hand towels. I had to call and request the face towels, but housekeeping brought them immediately. 2) The bath towels were full of lint, which left dust all over the bathroom and lint all over my body. See pictures of the dust in the bathroom.

Very nice and clean hotel. Staff is very friendly. It’s the only hotel I’ve stayed in the world that didn’t provide any wash cloth in the bathroom. Also, there was a tv in the room but I was unable to watch regular live tv. When I asked the front desk, they said that you can only watch Hulu, YouTube and Netflix. Except for those two issues , it was a very nice stay.
