Great hotel.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean. Beautiful. Not too far but not too close to all the glamor on the strip.
**FYI..if the valet guy tells you that daily valet is free (although the sign says $16 a day or whatever the amount was)..dont be so curious about whats right/wrong that you go to the front desk and find out that the guy was giving you free valet and you messed it up by going to the front desk! LOL!
We spent Christmas here. We booked time share rooms in November (just one month early) and stayed 12/23-26. On top of booking just one month in advance we added one more room 2days before arriving with no problem.
We had a whole trunk full of Christmas gifts and backseat full of suit cases..the staff never complained. Our group got separated and one of us going back to the room didnt have the key, we had to get a new one at the front..they never frowned.
Very pleasant stay.
The Jacuzzi tub next to the bed in plain sight of the tv. was WONDERFUL. (tip..no bubble bath soap in room and deli/store didnt carry any. I bought baby soap from the deli store but my plans were crushed when the bubbles didnt foam. I was very soft after my bath though ;)
Pros: Not in the middle of the strip where there is a lot of noise. No Casino in the lobby which is refreshing since they are every where..even in the Albertsons grocery store we saw slot machines occupied! geesh
FULL KITCHEN! Full dining table! (i made banana bread and a full dinner). I loved that they had so many mixing bowls,spoons and every utensil/dish I could think of for baking,bottle opening and serving!
Spa services on premises and free children activities during our stay. Starbucks and deli store for most of our needs. Nice size gym that we never used! Close enough that we walked to Circus Circus and the Adventure dome which was one of the main places on our list for this trip.
Cons: Check out is 10am which is too early. I know we cant stay forever but goodness. I asked for late checkout and was granted 11am. Starbucks didnt have frappuccino's on their menu. Thats all I wanted! I was very saddened when my hopes were up seeing the Starbucks sign/logo and not seeing a full menu selection
Self park was always full, we had to park on level 6 most of the time and its not attached to the hotel so you have to walk a good distance (it was cold at the time) so that was unpleasant for me.
I have to admit that because of the kids I enjoyed this hotel,its location and quietness. But once we go back to party without kids, we already looked into booking the Cosmopolitan further down the strip.
