| - I just stayed here this past weekend for my friend's wedding.
The only reason the hotel got a 2 stars is a) I have to remember that I get what I pay for and b) we had a great view out our hotel room.
The smell in the lobby/casino floor is of stale cigarettes and old nasty carpets. Sure, I can get over that and hustle up to my room, but being "welcomed" by the scent is awful. The front desk were okay, quick but snarky, and were talking about other guests who were standing just down the counter from them, calling them names and complaining about them being high maintenance. Not classy, even if you are a cheaper hotel.
The bedroom was nice, simple -- I upgraded to a Widescreen room (I would recommend the upgrade...only $30 or so). However, our shampoo/conditioner and body wash bottles were only 3/4 full, and there was no comforter on the bed...just three sheets. I excused it thinking, "Ya, it's hot in Vegas" but really, it's just cheap.
The view outside our hotel was lovely, out over the pool and to the mountains, and the location of the hotel on the tram line between the Excalibur and Mandalay Bay was convenient.
The coup de grace of disgusting however was when my boyfriend found mouse droppings when unpacking after our trip. Definitely not there when we traveled to Excalibur...
Take your money elsewhere is the moral of this review.
