| - This really is a fabulous find as far as price and hotel quality. There were really only two drawbacks for me: location (would have liked to have been a bit closer to the strip) and breakfast buffet setup (not organized that well, especially when there is a crowd of diners). Otherwise, the experience was great!
The price cannot be beat, we spent less than $115 total for the weekend (including hotel fees and taxes) which also included a hot breakfast buffet every morning. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly roomy (enough room for a loveseat couch which was placed next to a king-size bed). We had a mini fridge which was great since we wound up having leftovers from some of the vegas restaurants (for a little extra $$ you can get a deluxe room with a microwave; we did not take this option, but I think we may consider it next time). The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked fine, there was absolutely nothing I could think of that was wrong with the room. I also loved the fact that housekeeping arrived later in the day so we could sleep in; not sure if that is typical of every room or if we just happened to luck out based on our location, but nevertheless, it was nice not to be disturbed with a knock on the door at 10 am :)
Amenities were great, there is a fitness center and an outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzi. There is also a hotel shuttle that will take you to the strip on request, although it only runs until 10 pm. The free breakfast buffet is good, there are a variety of food items to choose from (scrambled eggs, muffins, sausages, hot/cold cereal, etc.) the organization is poor, however. Everything is grouped onto one table, which creates a long line if there is a crowd. This is especially true because of people waiting at the waffle station for their waffles to cook; I think that this station as well as the toaster should be located separately from the main buffet so that people who do not want waffles or just want to grab a few quick things are not made to wait in line. The coffee was mediocre, it was probably the only food item I was disappointed by.
Service was great, the staff was never rude to us and they were helpful with any questions that we had. All in all, this was a very good experience for us. If you are on a budget and do not mind being further out from the strip, I highly recommend this hotel.
