Beauty in the eyes of...............
I always find it amusing that people stay in cheap places and complain that they aren't as nice as the Paris! Remodeling is expensive and it is paid for by higher prices.
The Somerset is convenient......5 minutes to the strip and Walgren's on these aging legs...and 10 minutes to the LV Convention Center. They have cheap rooms especially when booked direct and if you are there at least 7 days, you get an even cheaper rate.
I appreciate having a fridge which all rooms have; 80 of the 100+ rooms have kitchenettes.
The hallways are depressing, the drapes old, furniture is dated and the kitchen appliances are old and I don't care. I have been in 4 different rooms. All had big closets, clean kitchens, bathrooms and beds. The beds have been the most comfortable that I have been in in LV and the place was the quietest place I have stayed in in my 12 trips. Doors are locked at about 5, and you get buzzed in or use your key. The friendly staff downstairs, maintenance, and housekeeping make the place homey. I sleep 6 hours, shave, shower, and leave. I need a clean bed, bathroom and kitchen and QUIET. The Somersett delivers with that, a great price, and location. If you want great luxury, this is not for you; if you appreciate a good deal, you can live with it.
I can afford much better;but I like it there!
