After reading so many bad reviews, I was discouraged. After the sandwich trick not working at 2am, I was mad.
But things got much better after that night. Flamingo hotel is definitely not the most extravagant, but I just keep reminding myself of the small dollars I spent, and remember the hotel staff is human too, things are much better.
I highly suggest to spend a little money to get to the newly remodeled side, Habitat side. The rooms there are so much more modern and nice. I also enjoyed their Casino, 5 CENT beer bar, and of course, the beautiful flamingos and pools.
Worth the dollar if you're on a budget trip!
