| - My boyfriend and I came to Vegas for business, so we weren't planning on staying in a big name hotel and dealing with the crowd on the strip (this hotel is off the strip, up the street a little ways from The Orleans.) We found a deal for this hotel on www.bookit.com. We chose it because of the price, and the photos on the site looked pretty nice, so we figured we'd give it a try. This place surpassed any preconceived ideas we had.
From the moment we walked in, everyone stopped to greet and welcome us, and check-in was a breeze. The front desk was very helpful with explaining everything, and even giving me directions to a few places I had asked about (I'm sorry I don't remember who checked me in :( ). We got the studio suite because, again, we were just looking for a cheap deal. The room was VERY clean, very simple and well-put together. It had a kitchenette, a nice jacuzzi tub, and depite what other reviewers were saying about the temperature, our AC unit was working quite nicely (it wasn't incredibly hot when we stayed). The front desk staff gave us a courtesy call a little while after we checked in to make sure everything was OK with our room - I thought that was very courteous.
The pool and jacuzzi are open 24 hours, so we relaxed there in the evening and had some peace and quiet. The pool area is simple, but very clean with music playing through outdoor speakers and nice BBQ units outside the gate.
We ordered food from a neighboring company that delivers to the hotel, the hotel itself does not have room service. I do have to say, for the price you pay for that food it isn't great. We ordered fried mushrooms, potato skins, and 2 drinks and it was $36.00. We might as well have driven to the local Jack in the Box or something, but we were so tired from driving already.
They have a small breakfast in the Owner's Lounge from 8-10 that consists of bagels and coffee. Check out, again, was a breeze - everyone was so nice a polite and gave warm goodbyes.
All in all, we will stay here again, and probably will upgrade to a bigger suite next time - I looked at the prices and there isn't much of a difference between the studio suites and the larger rooms. Great service, clean rooms, and away from the crowd. Definitely a quieter, more relaxing side to Vegas.
