SUMMARY - excellent location, great rooms, great staff, good value compared to Hard Rock. Pool area could be better but still I love this place! Doing another quick review because I see a load of recent bad reviews and honestly it just seems like people have unreasonable expectations and/or don't do any research. So I'll do the BAD first for the hard of thinking. BAD - The Dolce is right behind the MacD so yeah it's not like an "upscale" feel when you get there. The pool area could be better but it's rooftop so it's kind of tough to really put a lot of beds out there etc. It's a Kosher hotel so the Fri-Sat thing means that the bar/restaurant isn't open on a FRI night. And yeah, it has music on the rooftop so it can be noisy! GOOD - the Location is excellent - right across from the Hard Rock, easy 5 minute walking distance or they will bus you over and pick you up anytime! Staff - they are always awesome, never had anything but the nicest and friendly folk. Rooms - clean, modern, and the rooms facing the Guitar - AWESOME! Pool - if you just want to have a quick dip, it's right there on the rooftop. Bar/Restaurant - G7 is actually very nice - good food and nice drinks, On a Saturday (NOT Friday!) it's very cool. IMPROVEMENTS - I like the new free breakfast they are doing. I see people complaining that it's not nice enough but come on - it's meant to be an easy pick you up in the morning, not a gourmet brunch. Oy! G7 - They used to do a boom-boom-boom club type thing around the pool on a Saturday which I was never a fan of, and either because of the hot season or they just gave up, they are doing more of a laid back, restaurant/bar type deal now, which is MUCH better imho - actually kind of cool. SUGGESTIONS - Could management do a deal with the Hard Rock to offer Day Passes to the HR pool? I understand the HR probably has very little incentive to do so, but I would totally be interested. OR the Pool - could that whole area be altered to reduce the pool size and increase the sun lounger area - again would be a big improvement. FINAL THOUGHTS - again I see review after review from people who are complaining about the fact that it's a Kosher hotel? I mean that's who owns the place, and while I do think that's not a great business model and would like to see them make the Kosher part a bit more optional (i.e. open on a Friday night but just allow staff to opt out if they want to observe Shabbat), it is what it is. I for one have stayed at the Hard Rock which is DOUBLE the price of here, and I would (and DO) stay here at the Dolce by preference every time - better rooms, better value, better views!!!

Very loud, pool closed, beware of added charges The experience was just okay. We were on the 6th floor and the club that is one floor up was extremely loud. Made it very difficult to sleep, the music was bumpin’ until 2:00am. There is also a club next door (next to McDonald’s) that has loud music into the wee hours of the night. I also was charged more than what my bill should have been. The pool was closed, we were never informed before our stay. Props to the valet guys, they were very friendly.
