The check in was smooth. The area is far from the strip or restaurants but the hotel has two shuttles that go to Mandalay bay hotel and aria hotel which made it easy to access the strip and restaurants when needed. Quick Uber pickups were also available when I needed to go somewhere the shuttles did not go. The Internet was slow to the point where it was unusable in the afternoon and evening. The guest laundry area worked well to wish and dry my clothes. I preferred the quietness of the hotel over the noise you encounter at strip hotels with rowdy quests late at night. I would stay here again when I am in town to visit.
