| - I would compare it to a Holiday Inn or Best Western. It's a 2-1/2 star hotel. We stayed in the tower, tut took the elevators in the pyramid for a ride anyway because they are said to travel at an angle. It actually goes vertical a few feet, then horizontal a few feet, and it's super slow! It gave me a glimpse at the pyramid experience; which had a funky smell, was dingy and the hallways cried for a makeover. The tower is MUCH nicer looking than the halls I spied in the pyramid.
Cons:
-The shower head is positioned very low. Anyone over 5'5" might have to duck to wash their hair.
-The shower seemed to always clog if a shower went longer than 10 minutes...nasty, I don't even want to know what's causing that.
-There was no vent in our bathroom...it becomes a steam room when someone showers or like a natural disaster hit after a trip to the casino buffets.
-The "free" Internet is cable only...what century are we in?
-Room service was ridiculously slow...it is a big hotel with slow elevators so I suppose I should cut some slack.
-No good shows or nightlife at this place...seek elsewhere! Carrot Top, really? That's your headliner? And the LAX nightclub was a meat market...seriously nothing but dudes, not that I'm shopping...just struck me as odd.
To end on a good note, Pros:
-Classic theme that's not cheesy or dated (*cough-cough*Excalibur*excuse me*)
-Gym with lots of equipment. I was surprised how many people use the gym at any given time of day.
-Decent variety of dining options from quick and causal to the fancy schmancy steaks and stilettos atmosphere. Plus, Starbucks (two of 'em). And they definitely got my attention with a self-serve frozen yogurt shop, Blizz, right outside the West tower elevators.
-Very affordable. Compared to other hotels on the strip, this was on the lower end.
I wasn't dissatisfied but I wasn't floored with my experience, average.
