| - As local Las Vegans, hubby & I like to spend a night in a hotel from time to time, enjoy the (usually) superb Vegas rooms. Rumor advertises a trendy vibe so we decided to check it out. Parking is a nightmare...and it all goes downhill from there.
They seemed to be quite understaffed. Just one person at the front desk and she was trying to do 10 things at once. She was pleasant though and informed me we had been "upgraded" to an Oasis View room. I had specifically booked the Skyline room as I find rooms facing the pool tend to be quite noisy, but this was what they had left (despite checking in an hour early).
First tip to the lack of cleanliness was the food on the floor in the hallway. No, I don't mean someone's room service tray left out - I mean food actually on the carpet. And this was the hallway right off the main lobby. In the room itself the tub and sink were both less than spic & span also. While the decor is as pictured on their website, it's really just a new coat of paint on an old (and I do mean old) motel. The TV in the living room is smaller than my computer monitor! LOL And apparently no one considered towel racks in the bathroom. The "soaking tub" is just an old, worn, broken jacuzzi tub.
Now being nothing more than an old motel 6, you can imagine the walls are thin so the noise level is already higher than your average Vegas room. But the real treat was the private event that they had sold the courtyard out for that had a live DJ blaring until 3:30am!!! Great if you always dreamed of having your bed in the middle of a nightclub but otherwise not so much. Now, remember I had booked, via Rumor's own website, the Skyline room and was "upgraded" to the Oasis View which gave us front row seats to the noise and the party, to which we could not attend as it was a private event. So I finally called the front desk at 3am and asked how long this would be going on. It took 3 tries before the guy could even hear me (yes, the noise was that loud) and then he informed me until 4am. I requested that since I had booked a different room to begin with and did not appreciate the noise, could they at least give us a late check-out. He asked how late and I replied what could he do. He curtly told me 12:00 was the latest he could give us with out additional fees. Wow, a whole hour.
Now they do have a free porn channel but is old, dubbed over porn and that one amenity hardly makes up for all the shortcomings.
Rumor is a cheap motel playing dress-up trying to be more than it is. It's over-priced and on top of that they will sell whatever real estate they have to make an extra buck at the expense if their guests' comfort. The staff can be quite rude and cleanliness is clearly not a priority. So to sum it up, Rumor is a great choice if you want something just a half step above motel 6 to party in after the prom. If you're an adult, Vegas has FAR better to offer. Especially at nearly $180 a night.
