| - I don't understand why the ratings are so low and why are there so many complaints! True there is no smoking, no gambling, and no restaurants for Elara, but Jesus, it's right next to the Planet Hollywood. In fact, Elara is in the same building as the Planet Hollywood. To get to the actual hotel, you HAVE to go inside Planet Hollywood which has the The Miracle Mile Shops, restaurants and a casino(The Pleasure Pit)! There is a parking Garage right next to the Lobby of Elara, so no, you do not have to carry your luggage through out The Miracle Mile Shops. You just self park on the third floor of the Planet Hollywood parking garage and, boom! The entrance to the lobby is right there! & if you're taking a taxi from the airport, even better because you won't have to look for parking!
We checked in Thursday June 21st and checked out Sunday June 24th and our stay was wonderful! We had no problems at all checking in or out at the front desk. However, to get to the room, you need to show your room key to the security at the front of the room elevators or you can't get in(Only one person in the group has to show the key). They are very strict with this so always have your room key with you! They won't allow you to bring your friends unless you go get them and show the security guard your room key!
The price for our room was AMAZING! We were planning to book a one bedroom suite for 400$ but our friend wanted to have her own room so we booked a two bedroom suite for $1,200. Our room was on the 23rd floor and it was huge not to mention our view was amazing! We had floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the two other rooms! The kitchen was fully stocked, had a huge fridge that had water and ice, a microwave/conventional over, a dish washer, a huge sink and a stove. My friend's room had a huge red leather couch that was also a queen pull out bed, a king size bed with a padded black leather head board and the bathroom had a separate shower, his and her sink and toilet. The main Bedroom had a jacuzzi right next to the bed with mirrors everywhere! We had a desk and a zebra print lounge chair and had the same king size bed as the other room. Our bathroom was just the same as our friends room only it had another door for the living room. The living room had a wrap around leather couch that also doubled as a queen size pull out bed and the blinds for the window also doubled as a screen because we also had a projector! Did I mention that every single room had a flat screen TV that welcomed the person who booked the room? There was another TV in the living room, a TV in each bedroom room, a TV in the bathroom and even a TV in the kitchen! This place was AMAZING for the price we paid for the weekend of the start of summer!
The noise wasn't a bother either. There was one point where I thought our neighbors were too loud, but I found out it was the TV in my friends room. I had no problems here!
You can't go wrong with Elara, it's not only at the center of the strip, but it's right inside Planet Hollywood and you can shop, eat, drink( there is a Fat Tuesday inside the mall). and gamble! The only thing is, you can't go inside the same pool as Planet Hollywood, but Elara does have it's own pool too!
Love this place!!! Great price, great stay, great sleep!
Tip: DO NOT SLEEP WITH THE BLINDS CLOSED!!! We did that the first night and when we woke up, we were thinking it was maybe 10am when it was actually 1pm!
