I'm personally not wild about the 2-5 at Hard Rock, but it's really a matter of preference for me. It's probably as good a place as any to start... just do yourself the favor of checking out other games in the area and don't limit yourself to one room. The West Palm Kennel Club and the Isle are definitely worth looking at to the North, and Magic City is worth a drive to the South. Those are the main rooms where you can consistently find 2-5 and 5-10 action.
If you're college aged, I'd suggest finding a hotel on South Beach, rent a car (this holds true no matter where you stay) and explore the beach, the bars, the restaurants, and the clubs.
But if it's strictly a poker trip, then you could do a lot worse than staying at the Holiday Inn on Sheridan and I-95.

From there, you're 5 minutes from Hard Rock, 10 minutes to Gulfstream and Mardi Gras, and 20 minutes to the Isle, Seminole Coconut Creek, and Magic City.
