| - This was a GREAT place to stay! The rooms were very clean and comfortable and had ALL of the amenities of the upscale casino hotels, but without the high price, loud noise and the stale smoke smell everywhere.
It's location, just a block from the strip and right across the street from the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino and walking distance to the Paris, MGM Grand, NYNY and others. It's close to everything....but not TOO close!
I think the best part of this hotel was the kitchenette in the room. We used the microwave to make oatmeal in the morning or heat up left-overs. We LOVED the fridge, as we were able to go to a grocery store and get drinks and other snacks, as well as bring home left-overs from dining out, which made for a great midnight snack!
There is a pool, it's nothing special but there is one. We didn't use it.
The wi-fi isn't free, but the front desk will give you an ethernet cable to use during your stay and then the internet is free in your room.
The staff was beyond pleasurable and the AAA and AARP rates were more than reasonable. Our room with two queen beds was $79/weeknight and & $89/weekend. We felt that we definitely got our money's worth and would go back in a heartbeat.
If you're looking for a "resort" atmosphere, this place isn't for you, but if you're on a budget and don't really care about the "status" of where you stay, I highly recommend Carriage House Hotel.
(The only thing that would have made it perfect is if the hotel were pet friendly.....I had to find a local pet resort to kennel my dogs.....fortunately, I found a GREAT place! I have also reviewed it as well.....A-VIP Pet Resort.....it was WONDERFUL!!!)
