| - I enjoyed my low-key stay here just fine. There was a great promotional price that helped get me in the door -- and I'm glad to have met TI's acquaintance. They have recently undergone a complete renovation. From the moment I walked into Treasure Island, there was a professional touch that I appreciated. A lady who was cleaning a heavily trafficked door opened another door for me, whose hands were full. At Check-in, the way the associate carefully and with two-hands returned important things like Drivers License, Credit Card, was so specific and intentional, I liked it.
My room was comfy, clean and relatively spacious; the King bed gave me a good sleep. The in-room internet worked generally very well. I upgraded to the Strip View for a few bucks more to insure a higher floor, and that's recommended if you're at all concerned about possible noise. I was actually across from the ice machine -- but was not disturbed. The bathroom was just fine --- nothing terribly new about that, but it certainly was functional, spacious and clean.
I did not eat in the restaurants, including the buffet. The reviews were beyond dreadful for The Coffee Shop, and ironically, the line was huge for it the one time I considered going. I'm not a big fan of Canter's in Los Angeles, so no need for me to try it in LV. I wound up across the street at the Venetian for breakfast.
The Oleksandra Spa, on the Third Floor, looks very nice -- and you walk into it in order to reach the Fitness Center. If you're at all serious about working out, you should be good here. The machines are Precor (not my favorite, but certainly fine), and the free weights are ready to go. A nice touch I found, in the morning, is fresh fruit (apples, bananas etc). Very glad to see this! They have bottled water here, too.
The Resort Fee of $25 was a reasonable deal, I felt, given the handful of services and coupons included.
Overall, TI worked great. It could be for business or pleasure, and I'd be glad to return.
