| - Old, old hotel. I got a deal through Hotels.com for around $50 per night. Boy, do I hate it when they add that $30 "resort fee" on top of listed prices. How is that legal? It's not just this hotel; many of them do that.
The valet service was fast and efficient, as was check-in process. Folks were super friendly, so they definitely do that right. Because of the price, we got a room without any view. You get what you pay for, so that's okay. You don't really go there to look out of the room window anyway.
I did have to work a bit while I was there, so the free wi-fi is a huge plus. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of the connection. I learned that you really have to work in the room if you want peace and quiet. There is NO WHERE else in the hotel where it's quiet enough for a phone call. Even their business centers are open air, so people yelling, slot machines just fill the air. Even the hallways have blaring overhead music. I even tried the garage at one point and realized there was loud music there too.
As for the rest of the hotel, it really is showing its age. Everything is kind of dark. The decorations could use some refreshing. The tables have a minimum of $10 in the morning, so that's good if you're not a heavy gambler.
Check-out was easy as they offer different ways of doing it. You can even text message or email your check-out. I was impressed by this.
UPDATE: Thank you for your response, Lori. I'm not sure I agree that it's a "communications shortfall." This is done intentionally to place higher in the aggregator searches. Most hotels on the strip do it and I find it deceptive. I wish everyone would just call it what it is.
