When my husband and I go to Vegas for a particular convention we stay at a cheap motel for the convention to save money. Then when the convention is over we stay at Mandalay Bay.
So anyway, we have only stayed here once. The locale is far from the strip but within walking distance of the convention center. See we try and save as much money as possible in Vegas. If you don't mind seeing a homeless mans penis whilst he pisses right on the sidewalk on your way in the morning it is a lovely walk.
As for the motel itself. Its a dive but not to bad. The pool area, which we didn't go to, but our room was next to the pool had mud all around it. I am also a stickler for paint jobs interior or exterior and I have to say that the faux finish sponge painting going on here was so terrible. I hope they didn't pay someone to much for that paint job. Also, doesn't Howard Johnson know that faux finishes are the hardest to touch up? Sorry going off on a tangent.
The reason we wont stay here is because since this particular stay they have gone from $69 a night to $120 a night. Ahhh, no I don't think so and then calls us to ask if we will be staying for the next convention. No thank you.
