This property was great! The First Gentleman who checked us in was incredible- funny and helpful. The woman who was behind the counter during breakfast hours was also very sweet. The room was clean and comfortable, the beds are great. The shower pressure and temperature weren’t ideal but definitely manageable. Everyone was friendly. The distance to the main strip is maybe two blocks so it’s nice a quiet yet conveniently located.

We booked a 3 night stay on the fact that the reviews praised the hotel as such a great place to stay. I would not have booked for more than one night if I had known that it would be the noisiest room we’ve ever attempted to sleep in. The ac/heating unit rattled all the time. They claimed to be a smoke free hotel but our room reeked of smoke so on those reasons I asked if we could be moved to another room for the next nights and they were very considerate to move us. The next room smelled clean, looked newer and was comfortable but the ac/ heating system still was very noisy. Nice enough for what we paid. Side note: the beds aren’t for short people. I’m 5’3” and had to practically climb to get up into them.
