| - So, we booked this hotel because I was able to get a few comps through my mlife membership. We chose CC since we were dragging along our 4yo with us this trip and wanted to have some convenient things for her and us to do together. After reading a lot of the reviews I felt that I made probably one of the worst decisions of my adult life and that our daughter would suffer some psychological damage later in life, but....low and behold.....things we're alright. Yes it's older and rundown in comparison to the strip hotels, obviously. You can tell they are upgrading things slowly but surely and I was actually put at ease upon entering. I hate cigarette smoke, but know it's unavoidable in Vegas but the ventilation throughout the hotel seemed good. Check in was the worst experience for us. Took about an hour on a Friday night/Saturday morning about 12:30am, would have thunk so many people stay here and check in that late.
I can't remember the tower we stood in but apparently it was the remodeled tower and we were definitely surprised about that comfort and quality of the room. The beds were super comfy and the room was pretty dang spacious. I was expecting the worst and was very pleased. Take it, we usually stay at the Vdara so this was definitely a "culture shock" of sorts expectation wise but at the same time, we're not picky people. The restroom was nice and roomy and good mirror space and lighting. The AC worked like a charm and every stinkin' hotel employee we had contact with was very nice and helpful, and not in that...I work at a 4/5 star hotel so I have to treat you nice, way. It was genuinely nice, especially the house keepers.
We had booked 2 nights and I had actually booked them separately since we weren't sure how long of a trip it was going to be so they were going to swap us rooms for the second night, I called the front desk and asked them if there was any way we could stay in the current room so we wouldn't have to pack up and unpack again and after about 10 minutes they made it happen without a fuss. Customer service was definitely on point.
As for the weird "gift shops" and time share people, we never encountered any of them and the shop people done fuss either.
