| - The only reason why this hotel is getting 3 stars is because of its proximity to Urban Outfitters. Right on the strip, many of the popular hotels and eating areas are located within walking distance. And my favorite store Urban Outfitters is right downstairs in the Miracle Mile Shops. So if you're looking for convenience, location, and price, Planet Hollywood is a great place to stay....if you don't care about lavish amenities. When I booked the hotel, it averaged around $80-$115 a night. Very reasonable for a strip hotel.
Yet...this hotel comes with crappy old movie memorabilia inside your hotel room. We had some obscure 1995 Cindy Crawford movie poster hanging in the bathroom, an entire costume/outfit from the movie glued to the freaking wall (taking up an entire wall space where a window could have gone), and a Cindy Crawford book permanently implanted inside a table. Not the most classy hotel room decor. The windows (or should I say window, as in ONE) were too small, which was unfortunate because it had a great view of the Bellagio Fountain. You also could hear the water running very loudly in the adjacent hotel rooms. It actually sounded like Niagara Falls was in the next room over. They need to work on sound-proofing the rooms because we could hear youngins clubbing it up down below. Not pleasant when you're too old for that shit and you want a good night's sleep.
There was only one sink, but a separate shower and tub, which is always nice. Two sinks would have been nicer though, because sharing sinks with the hubby isn't fun. They do have 24 hour room service, which actually had great pizza that was very similar to Round Table. I can't complain much though; the room was clean and the maid service adequate. 3 stars all around.
