| - Just right off the bat - I see other people rave about 'free-wifi' and 'free shuttles' - if you book your stay through hotwire/expedia/priceline/living social and pre-pay the room with a promotional/low occupancy rate, instead of paying a Rack rate or commercial rate, they will add on an 'amenities' fee, which is 9.99/day + tax + other tax which ends up working out to ~ 15 bucks a day. So i had booked it through hotwire, paying 68$/day - bringing my actual cost to 82$/day - keeping in mind, i could have stayed at at least 4 casino places that were 89$/day - had i realized this would happen, i would have paid the 7 dollars to have to shuttle into the strip. The pool was closed the whole time we were there due to an unspecified issue with it - the did say if we walked over to candlewood next door, we can use their pool. Their 'Continental Breakfast' consisted of (and i am not making this up) Eggo waffles that the took out of bulk boxes and placed in a container, Activa Yogurt, and Breakfast bars. No possibility of ordering anything from their 'grill' because that appeared to be closed all the time. It seems their breakfast chef is a dude who goes to CostCo and picks up some bulk items. Their shuttle to the strip is not convenient - the two times we tried to use it, there were waits of 1.5 hours (apparently in between driver shifts) and 1 hour - despite the literature saying that it runs on the hour. The "gym" that was included had a broken elliptical - and seeing other reviews (FROM OCTOBER) it doesn't seem they are in a hurry to fix that either. You do get a nice view of the poorer side of vegas - outside my hotel window i did get to see a drug deal go down between two nice people. (I think it was a drug deal.. maybe it was a yankee swap from christmas - they exchanged things and the guy in the car drove off quite quickly)
One last bit - their "business center' where i was going to print my bording passes when i was leaving - yeah it's two desktop PC's from 2001 era computing, and a printer that had a well worn, aged sign that said 'Sorry the printer isn't currently working - we have a ticket open with IT to fix' - meanwhile, it was like that my whole 5 day stay.
I will say, it seems like the staff are resigned to work in the place, and know how bad it is, and try to do everything possible to make your stay nice - the front desk helpfully let me use their computer to print boarding passes, they moved me from the smelly messed up room they initially put me in to another with no fuss, and are knowledgable about places to go. The staff gets 4 stars... but even that doesn't save this place from being a 1 star, never book again craptacular "hotel"
