Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is outdated and dirty. There was visible dirt on floors and hair in bathroom that clearly did not belong to our party. There were gaps between the air conditioner and sliding door. The sliding door did not lock. There was a spot light right outside our room. Curtains had to be rehung mulitple times that night. We had to sleep on a blanket from home due to getting bit by something. We ended up leaving next day by early check out and had to fight for our refund. Rudest front desk that we have EVER encountered.

Our room was not clean by check in time and we couldn’t check in until an hour and a half later. Our room smells like weed and there was a huge fight and the cops were called during our stay.

Enjoyed the hotel, check-in was quick and simple. Staff was friendly and helpful. Close to the strip, so easy to get to everything. Fat enough away that you didn't hear all the noise. The only bad thing I can think of is that the helicopter fly over for the tours and can be noisy during the day.

Online said full breakfast but was no eggs and sausage. Looked like room was painted recently but not very neatly. Carpet needs stretched or replaced. Shower was also stained and discolored. We were close to most of the shows we attended.Smoking was allowed outside of the rooms but we still had to walk through the smoke sometimes when leaving our room. Remote would work to change channels but not to turn the tv on or off. The pricing was great compared to other motels I checked. Enjoyed having a mini frig in the room but no microwave was in the room. King bed was comfortable.
