| - I wanted to wait a few months to give an honest review of the 211. I am currently writing this at 12:17 am as the fire alarm blares off in my ears , again , for the second night in a row . This happens at least once every two weeks. It's normally at late hours and takes about 20-30 minutes for them to turn them off . And when I say blaring , I mean the highest pitch of screeching that is impossible to tune out. They have said they fixed the sensitive smoke alarms and had fire specialists here to test them , but I don't think anything has changed .... other than that here are my thoughts ...
I have lived here since October 2016. I'm a Vegas local that enjoys the downtown life so moving here while my job was also walking distance seemed logical .
Rey at the front desk is such a sweetie. If your moving here, try to set up a tour with her.
It has a very hipster vibe at first , fire pit , hammock garden, they just finished the spa but I haven't seen anyone use it .
Realistically , it has a very dorm feel. A lot of people are transient, from 18 to 80. There are some assholes that live here that leave the common areas a mess, the gyms toilet... I don't have words..
I have enjoyed living here for the most part, I've hung around the fire pit group a few times , everyone is nice . Everyone is very 420 friendly there If that's what your into .
Parking is a bitch, unless you want to pay 40-50 bucks a month , and it's normally waitlisted . If you get a spot in the front make sure you move it by 10 am or get a ticket .
No complaints about the internet or cable , except they say free cable but realistically you have to pay Cox like 3 bucks a month and an activation fee for the mini box .
They had hot water issues in the beginning but I think they have gotten it under control , before they would give a days notice and the water would be shut off for like 6 hours a day to fix the issues .
For what I pay , and for my situation , it works for me for now . I don't think I'll renew my lease but I do love the ease of walking to downtown whenever I want .
The only other complaint I have is that I had locked up my beach cruiser in the 'gated' parking area, supposedly so secure that I couldn't even get a code to open the gate for my bike , you had to pay for the parking spot for that , but I walked it though the front and locked it to the bike rack , and a week later my bike was longer there. Someone stole it right out of the parking area . I have to file a police report for them to look at the cameras , if they even point in that direction .
