| - 3 stars compared to the newer/fancy-shmancy Vegas hotels.
I found this place using Hotwire, and was surprised (in a good way) at what we got for such a great price. We came here during the weekend of 10-10-10, so a lot of the less expensive yet nice hotels on the strip were booked. I always pictured hotels off the strip as being dirty and rundown, but this place is clean and well kept (even better than Imperial Palace in my opinion - and IP is ON the strip).
Service is great and staff are friendly. (Late) Checkout is 11am, then $20 for each hour after. We needed an extra 2 more hours and was willing to spend the extra $40, but we got hooked up at the front desk and was only charged for one hour. Total cost of the room for 3 days, 2 nights was about $225.
A definite plus is having a Subway and a Liquor Store right outside the lobby in the same building. No casino here though. You'll have to drive about 5 mins to MGM.
The room itself is not bad at all. Small and perfect for 2 people, and it didnt smell like feet or cigarettes (the whole place is non-smoking!). They have a fold out sofa. A full kitchen complete with cooking utensils, dinner ware, pots and pans, and even a washer and dryer (all of which we didnt use).
Why I gave three stars:
- Not a lot of space. The separate bedroom was cramped with only 3 pieces of furniture, with one side of the bed being inches away from the curtains. (check out my photos!)
- One mirror in the whole place and it was the one above the bathroom sink. The only full length mirrors were out in the elevator lobby. And the lighting in the bathroom was not too bright.
- Decor was outdated, and the comforter and towels should probably be replaced.
- One window, and it was a small window inside the cramped bedroom.
- You can hear the planes from the nearby airport.
I would recommend this place to anyone who doesnt mind decent in Vegas, or if you dont want to spend too much on a room and don't mind a short drive away from the action that is The Strip. Not recommended for a large group or if you were in town partying with friends.
