When my coworkers asked me where I was staying for InfoComm this year, I jokingly said Roachway Inn. I didn't realize my joke would actually come true. That's right, I found a half-dead roach in the bathroom. Yuck!!! I even took a picture of it but won't post it here. I'm not sure how long it was there or how it got in because I was on the second floor. I also found two dead ones in the hallway downstairs. At least they were dead, or almost dead. It may just be an isolated incident but I still have to warn people since it may happen again. This is the first time I found a roach inside a motel/hotel so it really grossed me out.
I would've recommended this place if it wasn't for the roach problem. I have stayed here before and I thought it was a pretty good deal. The price is pretty cheap, about $40/night on weekdays and $50/night on weekends. It's also within walking distance to the Convention Center so you don't have to pay $20 for parking or deal with waiting for a shuttle if you have to go there. It is located on the north end of the strip so you are bit of a way from lot of the major casinos/hotels but Encore and Wynn are within walking distance. There's an indoor skydiving place right next to the motel and Walgreens is also pretty close by.
The rooms are good size and has 27 inch TV with cable channels including HBO and Showtime. Also has iron, ironing board, and a hair dryer. You should bring your own shower gel since they only provide you with a small soap and shampoo in the bathroom. There's a small safe in the room but looks like they automatically charge you for it whether you use it or not. I think it's about $1.50 but they remove the charge at check-out if you don't use it. This means you actually have to go to the front desk to check out rather than just leaving at the appointed time.
Continental breakfast is served between 6:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. but is pretty dinky. It's mostly bagels with cream cheese, sliced bread, and few cereals. If you want some substantial breakfast, walk over to Peppermill Restaurant on corner of Las Vegas Blvd & Convention Center Way.
The service was actually pretty decent and the lady at the front desk was quite helpful, which is why I'm giving it two stars instead of one.
