Nellis Suites, Las Vegas

The place was built in 2001... equipment in the rooms were old but in working order... there is a small kitchen and pots/pans/plates/utensils were provided. The mattress still had the plastic on it, which is good for a shared bedding, I guess. The rooms had walk-in closet, which was nice. Front desk, maintenance, and security staff are very nice and response quickly to requests. Over the 2 months we stayed there, the place was nice and quiet except for a couple of weekends where weekend guests were being loud - but not too terrible. It is located quite far from The Strip, so I would not recommend staying here if you are visiting mainly to go there. It is right down the street from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and right next to Nellis AFB, so if you are here for either one, this is the place to stay.

I had a king size bed suite; while the room itself was nice (light on the towels) the atmosphere was lacking. The walls are VERY thin and you can hear everything--kids, people thumping music all day, etc. One person next to me, I could tell he was watching ESPN about the NBA all-star draft. You have to pay per use to use the laundry facilities, also and parking is only ok. The location is great, right outside base and the people who worked there were nice. I only complained once about the noise and they corrected it, but it was like if one person wasn't making noise, the other one was. I was right next to stairs and the cleaning people start early and apparently there's no ramp, so their carts bang up and down the stairs starting at 0730. I'm a light sleeper so this is a problem, but I guess if you make alot of noise yourself, then you will fit right in. I would stay here again but ask for a different location for the room and bring ear plugs.

We had stayed there during our trip to the Nascar Race. We thought that it would be good to stay close to the track. There was 4 of us, so we had a two bedroom suite. When we went to be that first night, we noticed that their was plastic on the mattress and the flat sheet they had on it did not fit. And the blankets smelled. This was midnight. We had to go to Walmart to purchase sheets and blankets. The carpets in the rooms were very stained and smelled. Someone had relieved themsleves on the floor in one of the closets. This really smelled. On one of the days at the races I did not want to take my wallet, so i hid it. It had one credit card in it. So apon arriving home I went to go use my credit card and it was denied. After calling the credit card company I found out that my card was used in Las Vegas after we had left. For them to find my wallet they would have been looking through the room. So did they steel my card and then return it? or what. I would never trust this place!!!!!

This is a better place than most, if you are like me and are looking more of an apartment setting, than a hotel room. Staff was warm, friendly, and very helpfull. Very clean and neat inside and out. I look forward to staying there again.

Rooms fully equiped, my wife and I really loved the amenedies, staff was very helpful,especially Maintenance staff very knowledgable about internet problems and very polite and took care of us. overall We enjoyed our stay.

Location: most ads for this property state that it is 15 minutes from downtown and/or the strip. False, this location is at minimum 45 minutes from downtown or the strip by car. 1.5 hours if you take local transit. It is however, conveniently located next to Nellis AFB and you can walk over. The cost to take a cab downtown will be $45 - $50 not including gratuity (if you can get a cab, see below) Staff: staff are supposed to be knowledgable about the location, amenities, etc. False, staff at Emerald Suites in Nellis were less educated than myself (someone who resides in a different country) about what's in the area. * Emerald Suites staff could not advise me on the type of internet access in rooms (or how it works) upon arrival - I had to discover the cat5 jack on my own * Emerald Suites staff could not provide me with instruction on local transit to get to Downtown and/or the strip citing that he wasn't from around here * Emerald Suites staff could not provide the number of a local taxi service and instead provided me with a phone book to look it up myself (in the main lobby) * Emerald Suites staff could not comment on the Internet service which went down - apparently it will take 24 - 48 hours to fix only after having complained to head office Cleanliness: Carpets, floors, etc. should be clean True: room was relatively clean. Nothing ultimately disgusting presented itself. Overall Value: Low cost for services, this is a 3 star afterall. False: Other hotels at same price will offer more. I would give this hotel 1 - 2 stars maximum in which case it is overpriced. Additional note. Emerald Suites Nellis surcharges every monetary transaction at $4.95 as an energy surcharge. This was not in my contract with the establishment.

Dirty rooms, hotel was pit and would never go back. Hotel was expensive and worst place I ever seen. Overall rating Minus 10
