| - Oh Lord...I have waited three months to write this review while enduring my husband's onslaught of "It wasn't that bad" guilt trip, so I will just do the bullet points and stick to the facts.
In town to celebrate our 10th anniversary, my husband who loves anything to do with the Mob, decided that THIS place would be authentic and real. Okay, dude, whatever.
What we liked:
~John Brooks, the BEST Elvis impersonator we've seen in a long time. He is in the lounge on the weekends and brings loving fans and family....excellent show.
~The $5 Burger and Beer special in the café...cheap and our servers were very nice.
~KISS slot machines
~Front desk who greeted us and worked with us while we were there.
~Close to a decent coffee shop and a couple of blocks from the Fremont Experience.
~The security team who tried hard to help me when my phone was stolen but admitted that even if I found it on a GPS, they couldn't do anything. Thank God they were still polite and professional.
What we HATED:
~Parking is cheap but we had a run in with a young Asian parking guard who decided to get macho when we didn't STOP when we came in. Bear in mind that we had been in and out several times by that time and were waved in each trip by the professional parking guard.
~There are two parts of the hotel, one is the towers, which is like a conventional hotel and the other which resembles an older version of a Motel 6...guess where we stayed?
~The room was VERY humble and clean, no bedbugs thank God but it is VERY disabled, older person unfriendly. The bathtub has high walls so it was difficult for my parents to get in and out without help. The floors leading to the rooms are uneven and rough, again a challenge for older people.
THE WORST PARTS:
****We stayed on the top floor and it wasn't until my daughter came up with the two grandkids did I notice that the "fencing" surrounding each floor were neither up to code or safe. In fact they were VERY unsafe....If we had not held onto the hands of our grandchildren who are 5 and 2, they could have easily slipped through the railing and to a serious injury if not, to their death.
Once you are older and not prone to running over to look over the edge of a railing, you don't notice what a dangerous/tragic situation it could be****
~DO NOT stay on the East side of the Motel 6 part of the hotel. At the end of the May there was a hip hop club across the street and the crappy, building shaking, ghetto ass, worse rap I've ever heard, went onto until 4 AM. I was told by the desk agent that there is no close time so they could've technically played until dawn. The street was full of racing ghetto whips, I totally expected gunshots to ring out all night long. No one slept except the grandkids who finally just passed out.
When I went down the to front desk that early morning, the girl was very nice but could not do a thing. She gave me the business card of the desk manager who NEVER contacted me. It wasn't until I sent an email to the General Mgr that we ever received a response. He apologized and offered us one night in the tower and one night in the Motel 6 side IF we ever came back.
You totally get what you pay for and I imagine we go what we deserved because the room was dirt cheap. I would rather sleep in my car then allow any one of my family members to ever stay there. A VERY disappointing experience, stay at your own risk and what your little ones.
