| - 3.5 Stars. I normally stay at the strip but thought I tried something new. I arrived at the hotel too early around noon but the agent offered me a mountain view since these rooms were available before normal check in. The strip view rooms will be ready at 3 so I decided just wait. You can leave your luggage with the bell staff so that's exactly what I did while I explored the surroundings. This building is connected to Palms Hotel Casino via moving skywalk. There's plenty free of parking outside and indoor garage.
My room was pretty enormous. 2 LCD tvs (one in front of bed & one for the living area), nice comfy king bed, separate sitting area, writing desk, modern artsy lighting fixtures, fully equipped kitchen w/ mini bar, 3 spacious closets, jet tub, rain shower and another small tv in bathroom vanity.
The room was clean but floors were a little dusty. One of the TVs didn't power at all and I called front desk, maintenance came but they were not able to fix it. I also called about 2 lamps fixtures in the living room that had bulbs out but they also didn't fix them. There was a decent size balcony but only permanent residents can unlock the sliding door. The front desk told me that hotel guest were not allowed on the balcony...maybe for safety reasons but that's a lame excuse. Internet was a little challenging to connect and allowed only certain amount of data access which was weird. If I wanted more data, then I have to pay extra on top of the daily resort fee. On my last day, one of the shower handles came off loose (see pic) but I didn't bother calling the front desk about it cause I was checking out.
Overall, it was nice comfortable stay. This hotel was modern and had nice amenities. I just think housekeeping or maintenance should be inspecting rooms thoroughly before guest arrives. This hotel being off the strip, for the price I paid & minor kinks, I'd rather stay at the strip and pay a bit more for a smaller modern room.
