| - Hmmmm, well, it's a nice thought of getting away and having a "staycation" 50 miles from the buzz of the Vegas city. Thankfully, I have THEE most amazing husband in the entire world and the company was truly what this wee trip was all about. And we still had a wonderful time, despite the weird and smelly challenges with this hotel that calls itself a resort.
So disregarding my remarkable partner, and this property is nothing more than a lodge-like best western that HAS potential (keyword HAS). I've heard that they are in the process of revamping, so props to them, chop chop people, get yo sh*t togetha!
The lagoon-lake landscaping thing in the front of the hotel, gets you excited to see what's in store for you as you pull in and park. And as you enter the lobby the tone is slightly mellowed but your hopes aren't relieved completely. I cringed slightly as I saw all the dead hung animal heads (but what do you expect for a "lodge", I guess? - compassion much? ugh!)
Our check-in agent was incredibly chipper and friendly. He was cool :) thanks dude, don't remember your name sorry, but I do recall you working a 14 hour shift that day.
We got to our room, dirty. Ohhhh! Crappers!! We had upgraded to a "balcony" suite. LMFAO!! Puny and wee. Aw, the poor balcony. lol. We called down and got switched to a junior suite, whew, thank you sweet baby jesus because this room was cheaper and bigger, rock on!! We didn't mind walking back down the urine-reeked stairway to the lobby to collect our new keys.
Tid-bits:
*As I mentioned: no elevator, but only 3 levels, no biggie! BUT going up to level 3, smells like a frat boys druken debaucherous piss-fest, YUCK! Don't touch anything! If you suffer from the fear of amebas - Mysophobia - you will definitely want to consider staying elsewhere. I did not shower, wore my flip flops in the room and did not touch the door handles.
*Late night snackey - vending machine, twix - STALE, no thanks, trashed it.
*Skip the balcony room
*Enjoyed sitting in the lobby next to the fire pit, in the big chairs :)
*All the staff was pleasant and happy to see us!!!
*In non-winterey snow months, sleep with the window open, the sound of the front fountain is delightful while falling asleep.
*WIFI & cell reception does not exist - the front desk attendant did however, advise us that they are currently in the process of fixing that. So the $10-something we paid for the "resort" fee which included the empty parking lot & wifi was quickly refunded back to our credit card.
