My hubby and I checked in here on Sunday, 9/4/11 because it was a comped room as we are a part of their players club. The lady at the front desk who checked us in was very nice and got us checked in really fast. There was little to no wait in line which was nice as I know that check in at some hotels can be a nightmare.
We were assigned a room on the 14th floor...I believe it was either room 1485 or 1487. When we first walked into the room the first thing I noticed was this overpowering smell of B.O. (body odor). It was like someone who never wore deodorant in their life decided to roll around in the room or something. The room just reeked! It just hit you in the face when you opened the door. Horrible!!!!
The room itself looked a bit dated and dingy. I was a bit afraid to stay in it personally as I told my husband if it were okay if we slept with the lights on. We tore the bed apart as this place looked like it could harbor bed bugs. No bed bugs between the mattress. But I did find what looked like a strawberry blond pube on the pillow on the next bed (we had two queens).
Thank heaven my father in law happened to have a spare comped room at the Rio, as my hubby and I didn't even want to bother with complaining to the front desk about the odor of the room. We just gathered our belongings and left.
I don't think I will ever stay at the Orleans even if they offered us free rooms.
I will still dine however, at the restaurant in the Orleans... The Prime Rib Loft. That place is pretty clean and the food is pretty good.
