Let's be nice here. This place got a makeover. It's cleaner. It has design. It has good use of space. Plus, finally: good lighting.
So why 3 stars?
The goods: it's current offers gives the lowest rate for weekends - and it's at city center - so it's close to all the nice restaurants.
The bads...
Check in: it's all machine, no concierge at 12:20am, it charged my incidental fee but the check in failed so we had to wait for help. Help was fast but they're short staffed.
I know it costs a lot to buy water at a casino - I went to the vending machine, located in the ice machine room - the room was flooded! Worse: the vending machine took my money and didn't give me any beverage.
Shower: the door doesn't open or close properly; hot water isn't aligned to what the shower temperature dial...
I think I'll add more as the weekend progresses - maybe I'll increase this to a three star
