| - The only reason I am not annoyed at the inability to give ZERO stars is because we did enjoy the soaking tub and the Fun Dungeon. Also we saw a show at NYNY and went over there for shopping and the roller coaster which was convenient.
First of all the time share people are unacceptably aggravating! Accosting you at every turn.
I normally stay elsewhere. Its difficult to find rooms with soaking tubs just by going to websites, you have to call from one place to another to find them half the time and even then they are not plentiful (or the rooms are well over a grand for 3 nights). The hotel we normally stay at DOES have them but they were sold out for the weekend (I did book 5 weeks in advance) of that type of room and we wanted that treat, otherwise we probably would have stuck with what we knew.
We've gone to the Excalibur before on multiple occasions because we like Dick's Last Resort and we've also gone to the Tournament of Kings. So for about 600 dollars we spent 3 nights
Thankfully we didn't spend a whole heck of a lot of time in our room.
Only one of my issues is something completely out of the control of the hotel and that would be the noise. We've never stayed in a room facing the strip before and we were on the corner in tower 2 so there was traffic, loud motorcycles, sirens from ambulances and police, as well as screaming from the roller coaster (this stopped around midnight though, thankfully)
(Enjoying the roller coaster and listening to it whenever your in your room for any period of time can become annoying)
Our room was the FARTHEST room from the elevator, so ALL the way across the casino, then all the way back to the VERY end of the hall in tower 2. This may be because the room had a "soaking tub"
Our room was.... a shambles. Here is the description of what our room professes to be (snippets from the actual description on their site)
" Contemporary Superior Room, reign in this beautiful room . Soaking tub and luxurious bathroom featuring granite counter tops. High-speed Internet access.
Contemporary means updated (doesn't it?) This room had a thin blanket that was not really big enough for a king bed with 2 sleeping in it and a thin duvet (more like a sheet covering it) I shouldn't have to crank up the heat because I was given a beggars blanket. but the cover over the thin blanket seemed to be the newest thing in the room.
The wallpaper was peeling (badly in some places), the tiles in the bathroom were so chipped it looked like someone spilled dirt all over and then didn't bother to sweep it up, the wallpaper had obvious patches in it and then was painted over (if this room was updated WHY wasn't the wallpaper torn down and the room painted, its SO easy and makes a huge difference), the door stop behind the bathroom door was falling out, the chairs by the table were threadbare, the table itself was gouged and deeply scratched (which was made worse by the fact that it was painted black so every scuff made it look cheap and neglected, and there was also a broken cover plate to the plug receptacle.
I was so disgusted I took pictures of all of the things that were tangible.
Other issues I had?
The Internet being included in your resort fee being only via Ethernet is VERY outdated and misleading, I brought an iPad I couldnt use that Internet. Also the cord didn't even reach the bed, you'd have had to drag a threadbare chair over and sat right next to the dresser where the Ethernet cord was tethered. There was wireless, but it was in the lobby. Who uses Ethernet in a hotel?
The tiling was crooked in the bathroom, this isn't something easily fixed, just another testament to how shoddy the entire place was.
The window shade by the tub was broken completely so you couldn't look out that window while in the bath, (this is a simple and cheap fix, just like the cover plate would have been)
The clover tub was OK, but there was a little plastic sign sitting near the tub (not stuck or screwed in or anything) giving instructions on how to use the jacuzzi and what all the knobs meant, but it was a clover TUB not a jacuzzi, there was ONLY hot/cold, not a complaint, but still misleading.
In the halls there was graffiti on lighting fixtures (I only took a picture of one but we saw several) and huge dark scuffs on the wall paper in the halls.
Another thing that really bothered me was I've never been bugged by security before in a casino (EVER) and neither has my guy, but there was someone being loud and belligerent with a security guard as we were heading out somewhere and I don't know what it was about but he was drunk and it was unsettling.
I will NEVER stay here again. We will come back for Dick's Last Resort, because that place is awesome but for the price I paid just for an over-sized tub in our room, it was absolutely not worth it.
The Valets and Bellmen were very nice.
