| - Wonderful option for a stay downtown. Booked a room there for a one night "staycation"- living in Vegas, just wanted something different and fun for the kids for a night. Turned out to be a great move!
Located on 3rd st it is nicely set back from the seedy environment of the Freemont st. It almost has it's own little private block, closed off my the Mob Museum and the nice row of restaurants, has a safe, secluded and clean feeling.
Took me a while to figure out that the parking structure is across the street, valet had to explain it to me, I kept trying to storm employee parking area. Structure is free to hotel guests, valet does charge $7/night.
I was offered a choice of either tower upon check in, kids wanted to be up high, so we stayed on the highest floor we could have at the pool tower- 17th. Second tower is 25 stories high, but we want to be a little closer to the pool. The Commissary offers free coffee for the hotel guests 6-9am, which is a nice touch. Free WiFi, two free bottles of water and a few coupons for dining and play to get you going all come in handy.
Property is updated, fresh and modern, decor of the hotel and rooms leave little to be desired.
Loved the pool located on the roof of the 3rd floor and the panoramic view of the surrounding area it affords. Nice bar with reasonably priced cocktails and a selection of beers on tap, food options are available as well. Kids had a nice pool side lunch, and I may or may not have enjoyed a few cocktails and beers. Pool setting is also very pretty as well as lounging areas, which are plenty.
Restaurants across the street are Triple George, Pizza Rock and Hogs and Heffers. We have visited two out of three before, but kids pushed for Pizza Rock, and it was all about them anyway, so there we went.
Topped off the night with a zipline over Freemont, deep fried Oreos and Twinkies from Mermaids and tucked in for a night of comfortable sleep.
Great experience and highest recommendations!
