I stayed at this hotel during the first weekend of March. I have heard that new management team took over earlier this year and its gearing towards the positive direction. Here are my summaries of stay
Pros:
1. Turns down are back. Its good to have a clean room when you are back to your room at night.
2. Flat Screen TV is finally here. But HD channels are still missing
3. Attractive Weekend rate and ability to earn starwood points and enjoy elite benefits.
4. Ease to walk to the room from parking lot when comparing to mega hotels.
Cons:
1. Internet did not work during my stay. I tried to contact the tech support but still did not work. Both of my friends' PC and Mac was not able to connect to their wifi so its not our computer's problem for sure.
2. The cut back of their "social hour" (it used to be 2 hours but now to 1 hour). One of my biggest pet peeve is that they not just reduced in terms of food offering. They used to be at the room inside the Suade restaurant which was quite relaxing and able to enjoy the drinks an snacks but now its just a big bowl of salsa chips and located between the hallway to the spa and pool.
3. Inside their spa they used to offer bottled water and juices too, but its all gone.
4. I wish they can spend some time to ask engineers to clean the lents inside their bathroom and also the pipes for drainage. Good maintenance can keep the room lasts longer since there is no known room renovation plan announced yet. I was surprised to see how long it took for waters to drain down the pipe. Its embarrassing.
I hope the hotel can seriously improve on the offering along with other issues so I will be more likely to return to this property and be my choice of hotel whenever visiting Vegas.
