Hard Rock Hotel guidelines regarding Purchase Orders:

If you need your Purchase Order signed by the vendor, the Hard Rock Hotel's Accounts Receivable will need to sign & return the Purchase Order in time for their check to be received. Purchase Orders can be emailed to Jessica.Diaz@hrhcac.com

Payment needs to be received no later than 30 days before arrival.  Accounts Receivable will need to have their check depostied (cleared) and posted to their reservation for a smooth check-in.

Note:  When making initial reservation, you will be charged the first night's room rate plus taxes on the credit card provided.  When Hard Rock receives the check for that guest's reservation, you will be refunded at that time. The credit card that is provided when booking the reservation will be charged by Front Desk at check-out unless a different card is presented at check-in for incidentals.  THIS IS A MANDATORY PROCESS.

Guest should provide a credit card at check-in.  If the PO states it will cover incidentals and/or Hard Rock has applied payments that cover incidentals, the credit card will not be charged.  Usually, the municipalities do not cover incidental.
