For a place to stay to rest your head very clean inefficient… The only thing I could suggest is may be a small microwave in the rooms and a better set up for coffee

The room was clean. Staff was amazing. Nice view of the lake from the balcony. Air conditioning was great. Only thing I would suggest is bring your own ice and a microwave or indoor grill if you plan on eating in your room.

Great for solo travelers. Everything you actually need, and anything else you want is close by. Good location near the strip where the bars and reastaurants are. Pool was warm and clean. Had some issues and they helped resolve them as well as being quick to respond when I accidentally locked everything in my room and had to communicate through some kind strangers. I will be a regular guest there in the future.

The location was perfect. The view of the lake and sunset was beautiful. But, the floor was dirty, the walls were dirty and there were spider webs everywhere. The beds were clean and comfortable. The shower was clean and the water pressure was great. The pool is down the street at The Palms. But, we didn’t discover that til is was too late to enjoy. The pool location needs to be communicated better.

Great location but other than that, it was just OK. Parking is a real issue here. There's very little parking and several spots were taken by people not staying there but couldn't find another spot on the strip. No soap, shampoo or lotion in the bathroom either. Not a single staff member on site.
