| - Why a 4-star rating, might you ask? We all know this isn't a hot hotel, it's a run down, bastion of cheapness for college students and older people, the elevators are in dire need of repair, the weird entrance isn't off the strip, and the parking garage elevators (if you can even find them) smell like piss.
However, I had a great, cheap stay here with great service. We needed one day before meeting up with some friends at MGM Signature the next night, and scored a Luv Tub room for $80. Didn't arrive until 2AM, and the hostess upgraded us to a suite without us even asking. Score! Some other guys in line with us were upgraded to a penthouse. I guess the key is to check in late!
I've seen friends' photos of IP rooms; small, tacky, outdated, etc. That's what I was expecting. Our suite was not only HUGE, it was very classy and tastefully decorated. It had a wet bar, sitting area, 2 flat screen TVs, a balcony (with not much of a view), the infamous Luv Tub jacuzzi and restroom one step up from the rest of the room. Mirrors on the ceilings above the tub and the bed (What are those for? Can someone tell me? :p) and the tub, although with no jets, filled up very quickly with hot water. Everything was clean and in great shape, which surprised me because of all of the negative reviews I've read.
The tub also contains the shower, and is separated by the bed with only a glass wall, so this suite is definitely for couples or singles, not a huge group of your friends. There is a 24-hour convenience store downstairs, and lots of good places like karaoke, Fat Tuesday, Hash House a Go Go, etc. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again!
