| - Closer to 1.5 stars, but I will round down because I would never stay here again given a choice.
I didn't plan on staying here, but won it by accident by mucking up some priceline bidding. I overpaid, and could have gotten a much better room somewhere else for about $10 less than what I paid here, and a few dollars less if I booked directly.
Pros
Free wifi internet.. although it is somewhat slow.. only about 0.3-0.5mps.
Checkout time is Noon, so you get to sleep in an hour later than the 11am places.
Location is great! I could walk right down the steps, and ended up literally 10 feet from the strip sidealk. There were mini-marts right next door as well, so you can buy crap. The Planet Hollywood casino is a 3 minute walk away as well.
Cons
- The rooms are very dated, and have are in dire need of investment to make them better. I know some people who are clean freaks, and wouldn't dare sleep in a place like this.
I saw blood stains on the linens, throwup stains on the carpet, holes in the screens where bugs can some into the room, holes in the sheets, wallpaper peeling off, sticky floors, cracked tile. I did see evidence that some things were newer, while other things looked neglected.
I had to switch rooms TWICE due to problems with the rooms. The 2nd room I was given had a HUGE problem, where there was an awful smell in the room.
There was one of the most offensive odor's I have ever smelled lingering in the room! It smelled like a cross of rotten disinenfectant, truck exhaust. I couldn't get it out of my head for hours.
The final room wasn't perfect - the hairdryer didn't work.. but I was tired. I was able to sleep for 10 hours, so the bed itself was pretty decent. The noise at night right by the strip wasn't bad either, except for the trash man waking me up briefly at 730am.
Finally, to top it all off, there were BEDBUGS! Yes, the next day, I had a few red bug bites all over my legs! I must have slept through it all.. Luckily they don't hurt or itch, but they weren't there before I slept here.
If I had taken pics of the bites, I would have one sweet lawsuit.. I was careless and didn't.
The staff was very friendly, and even called more than once to make sure the room was OK.
If you must stay here, upgrade to the suite -- they look much nicer than the regular rooms.
