This wasn't my first pick for a Vegas hotel, but I was in town for a conference and the price was right at TI ($500 for 5 nights). Checked in at around 7:30pm and waited over 45 minutes in the smoky lobby. When I asked for directions to the hotel my conference was located at the staff was less than helpful.
When I finally made it up to my room I was pleasantly surprised. The furnishings looked quite modern and nice, and I got the king sized room I requested. Upon closer inspection the room left a LOT to be desired. On the first night I discovered a crusty stain on the sheets, which obviously had not been changed. After requesting for a bed linen change, the new linens had several dark stains on them. Gross! Towels were always "crunchy" - in definite need of replacement. Floors had obviously not been vacuumed in awhile and there were also suspicious white stains on the wallpaper.
Hotel restaurants did not look appetizing. I went for happy hour at the TI's highly rated "Isla" restaurant, and while the drink was delicious their food was sub-par (they use liquid cheese on their nachos). Most of the time I ended up taking the tram to the Mirage next door for decent eats.
Overall, the bargain price could not compensate for the lack of cleanliness. Next time I will definitely stay elsewhere.
