| - I had a fine stay at the Elara for a bachelorette party. There were good things about the resort, and some things that could use improvement. The two bedroom suite was spacious and clean. We had eight girls, and there were enough beds and space to comfortably handle all of us. The amenities were pretty cool. It was my first time staying at a time share/condo, so I was amazed that the room had a full size refrigerator, fully stocked kitchen, dish washer, and clothes washing machine! Also, the fact that it was a non-smoking hotel really saved my entire wardrobe/luggage from smelling like an ashtray and was nice for my throat and voice!
There were a couple of things that were negative; most of all the plumbing. Our kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, and bathtub were all slow to drain and clogged easily. The kitchen sink actually started leaking and flooding underneath, and the toilets took two or three flushes just to get the toilet paper to go down. I also noticed that housekeeping never came in the three days we stayed there. We didn't put any "Do Not Disturb" signs on the doors, so I'm not sure why they didn't come. As a result, we had to call the lobby multiple times for things like toilet paper, towels, and shampoo. Another damper on the hotel was the fact that they share their self-parking garage with Planet Hollywood and you have to trek through the miracle mile shops to get there.
The hotel is great for large groups or people staying a few days, but I really hope they get that plumbing fixed!
