| - We came here due to a Groupon we purchased. Once again based from other reviews I could tell coming to this place was going to be either a hit or miss, and I have to say that our stay here was a complete hit!!! From the check-in, to the room, to the hotel amenities, and the hotel service, everything was great!!!
Check-in was easy - we requested a room close to the elevator and were accommodated accordingly.
The room was nice! - There was recessed lighting, an adjustable flat screen, huge windows looking towards the mountains (and the lighting storm!), a nice bathroom with a huge bathtub/shower and plenty of towels, and a mini-fridge. My only complaints were the room seemed a little more dusty than normal, the tub being so huge was a little hard to get in and out of, and the mini-fridge was definitely on the fritz and only worked half the time.
The hotel amenities were great! - I loved the pool! It was 4ft deep and warmer than most pools so it was nice to just sit in. The pool side furniture was nice and cozy and not cheep! The pool bar was great, they had a variety of alcohol flavors and the bartenders were nice :) The only con was that it took me a few to get the bartenders attention as they were chitchatting. It was also nice to have the movie theater there as an alternative distraction. Yes we took advantage of a matinee :) Unfortunately, there is no complimentary wi-fi, but that's why we have data packages right? Besides, how much time are you spending on your phone, laptop, tablet etc. to need to use that much data anyways?
The machines were excellent! - Come see for yourself! Need I say more???
Food choices - We ate at TGI Fridays (See separate review) one night. Another night we ate dinner at the Buffet, which was on par with Hometown Buffet, which is what I expected anyway considering the price we paid so I wasn't too surprised by the dry chicken. There were plenty of other food options though, so if you don't like dry chicken try the BBQ pork or something else! We were also given tickets for complimentary coffee at their bistro which we took advantage of :) If none of their food options there tickle your fancy then there is a slew of foodies (KFC, Arby's, Starbucks etc) 2min down the street.
It was definitely a nice resort getaway where you felt like you did not have to (or even really wanted to) leave. If you do decide to leave, Fremont street is only about a 20min drive away. What can I say? For the price we paid we all had a blast!!! I can't wait to go back and I am already planning my next trip!
