| - Discretionary post.
I could see how easy it is for people to not like this place, but as one recent yelper guest mentioned, you have to acknowledge you are getting what you pay for, which is mediocre at best. Definitely not the worst place to stay, but many of you would be better off and happier spending the extra money to stay somewhere else closer to the exciting part of the strip. If you give this place high marks, it is probably based more on the experience than the look.
Good things:
- It's cheap. It's really not a bad choice if you're on a budget.
- It's a quick walk to the CVS in case you need a few extra things for your stay. Less than a mile north on Las Vegas Blvd.
- They have Keurig coffee machines in the rooms rather than the ordinary ones that aren't even clean.
- Plenty of closet space for personal belongings.
- The view outside the window is not actually of a neighboring building's roof.
- FREE WIFI! I know for a fact that there are other hotels along the strip that actually charge you for it. This is one critical factor that can determine someone's level of happiness.
Bad things:
- It's far from the actual Las Vegas shenanigans. A cab ride to the other side of the strip can potentially run you up as much as $20 depending on who drives you and when.
- The shops around this place don't tend to open very early. But then again, not many people tend to wake up early in LAS VEGAS.
- You might have to deal with that turn that goes into either the parking garage that leads to the check-in desk, or into the Manor rooms. There should be a signal light there, or at least stop signs. Cars usually plow right through there regardless of pedestrians crossing or not.
Things that aren't necessarily good or bad, but are left up to the person to interpret and decide:
- This hotel has a ton of kids as well as gang members. The same people who react to this can respond 2 different ways: "How can you like gang members?" and "How can you dislike kids?" Not all gang members are bad. And many kids are.
- They still have CRT TVs. Of course they work, but it's tough to watch things on those after watching flat-screens for a while.
All in all, choose to stay here if you aren't picky. But if you're trying to "impress" someone, be ready to get laughed at. I'll let you imagine the dialogue.
