| - Couldn't agree more with Mary! I guess the main bad review goes to the AAA Tour Book that actually dares to give this place 3 - count em, 3 - diamonds. It was for this reason that we decided to stay here at the beginning of our relocation from California to Maine. We're traveling with two kids and two cats in tow, and so our options were somewhat limited in Vegas. But the three diamonds won us over and we figured that we'd happily forgo a room on the strip for the clean, large and pet friendly accommodations we were expecting.
The rooms are big. I had no problem with the size for the just over $100/night price. And another bonus - DVD players in every room. You don't get that in your average $300/night hotel in Vegas.
However, I have never stayed somewhere that has no on site housekeeping staff. I think they must outsource for a couple of hours a day or something. I'm not sure. I saw some girls in maid uniforms this morning, but our room never got cleaned, so maybe they were just charges of the aforementioned pimp. We had to go down to the lobby to get our own towels, because there was none in the room. Well, that was only in the second room of the three we were in over the two nights we stayed.
Room number one: Sticky, smokey and skanky. In fact, my hubby said the phone smelled like man juice, for lack of a better description. It was also very much a smoking room, very much the opposite of what we booked. So we quickly left that room and moved to...
Rooom number two: Stinky, dirty and toweless. I had a friend whose roommate had a puppy and he didn't change the little baby dog's wee pads often enough, so their place had this overwhelming smell of puppy pee. Well, that's what this room smelled like. At first, there was a bit of a cheap air freshener smell masking it slightly. It smelled odd, but undefinable. Then the air freshener wore off and there was just no denying that it was dog whizz that we were smelling. It was so strong that when I went to get coffee in the morning and then came back, I had to steal myself to keep from hurling.
Meanwhile, my 11-month-old and 3-year-old were both crawling and walking all over the room, and before long, they were covered from thigh to foot in black soot. What the heck? As Mary said, we all looked like coalminers by the morning. I just don't know how a carpet can get that filthy.
So we moved one more time, and were assured that the carpet had just been shampooed, though we would have to deal with the recently re-shallacked cabinets that were still sticky. Oh, so that's what was up with the first room Thank GOD!!
Room #3: Cleanish, smallish and hottish. So, finally, a room that doesn't smell bad. It feels reasonably clean, has towels, but is a bit smaller than the first two. That's fine. But what's this? The air doesn't work in the front A/C? Need I mention that it's 114 degrees outside. Will it never end????
So, needless to say, we will never stay at this Extended Stay again, and would like to curse the AAA genius that gave this dump 3 stars. It's definitely less expensive than your average Vegas room, but I heard you can get a room at Hooters for $29. If you're not traveling with animals, I'd definitely take fake boobies over unidentifiable filth and odors any old day.
