| - I know this isn't a 5 star resort you'd find on the strip, but I'm giving it 5 stars because it was exactly what we needed. It was a 5 day vacation with my boyfriend and being in our early 20s, me being out of college and on our own, we needed the trip to be as cheap as possible (but I wasn't going to settle for some dingy motel at $50 a night either).
Sure, there were resorts on the strip that had cheaper nightly rates than this Residence Inn, but all the resorts charge this ridiculous "resort fee" of an extra $20 per night and none of them offered free breakfast, so in the long run, the Residence Inn was the cheapest we found.
Now, I'm not too keen on hotel breakfasts or buffets. They gross me out and are normally pretty nasty, but I thought, "hey, it's free, just suck it up and eat it." But to my surprise, they have an amazing breakfast buffet! There was a large selection: scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, pancakes, french toast, biscuits and sausage gravy, cereal, fruits, oatmeal, yogurts, and create-your-own Belgian waffles. And it actually tasted really good! The eggs were extremely puffy and not slimy, wattery, or wet like other hotel breakfasts. The pancakes weren't small or rubbery either. Honestly, their breakfast was one of the highlights of our trip.
Our room even came with a kitchen we weren't aware of. The room was clean, smelled clean, there were no creepy sheet stains in the bed, the shower was sparkling white, inside of the microwave was spotless...the bed was comfortable. Sure, the furniture is a little outdated, but who cares?! You're on vacation! So you shouldn't even be in your room all that much to actually use it!! The pool is small, but at the time we went, no one else was in it so we were cool with the pool. The staff is also very kind!
