Enjoyed our stay!
Went here for an overnight stay to attend a friend's wedding. Having stayed in one of the hotels in the Strip before, we opted for a quieter and more family friendly atmosphere and with this economy, we also minded our budget. After reading some reviews here, we made the gamble and I believe it paid off. Yes it is a small hotel compared from the rest but here it is were the value came in :
1) rooms have their own sep living room with an LCD TV, there is also an LCD TV inside the bedroom so my child was watching his cartoons in the living room while I watch my show in the bedroom. They have a microwave, mini ref and coffee maker. For a standard room, you can't find these things in those larger hotels. Rooms are relatively clean also.
2) Free Breakfast, buffet style..eggs, bacon, french toast, fruits, yogurt, cereals, sodas, juices, doughnuts..etc and omelet cooked to your liking...yum
3) Manager's reception between 5:30 to 7:30 pm..meaning complimentary drinks, cocktails...my wife and I got glasses of wine and margaritas.they also serve some snacks. no need to spent a lot of cash drinking booze outside...the downside is it's only until 7:30...they should have made it 9-11 pm. :P
3) Well If you have kids, you will like their non-smoking policy.It's also nice not to see a casino here.I found a lot of children playing
4) since it's a smaller hotel, the parking is just close to it. I don't have to walk for miles compared with the previous hotel that I went to. The downside is, it's not covered.
5) cozy atmosphere..i like the atrium and fountain of the hotel...my kid loved the glass elevators too.
6) wonderful service...front desk personnel are very friendly and accomodating.
7) affordable...I tried checking other websites and their website. I found out that their website is still cheaper plus my AAA membership also helped.
8) Another downside is it's off location from the Strip, 1-2 blocks away. It was not really a problem for us because we brought our car. But that's why you have rentals, right? and you can also ride the tram.
9) Their pools are small. One pool is indoor. It was cold when we came, around 45F so we were not really in the mood for a swim.They also have a 24H gym.
So if you are looking for alternative places to stay in. I suggest you try this place out. We will definitely be back in this hotel next time we visit Vegas.
