| - I did not jump for joy when I had won a bid from Priceline to stay at the Trump International Hotel due to the fact that I haven't heard much about the hotel. But my stay here turned out to be pleasant, and I wouldn't mind returning in the future.
+ Friendly staff. We received a call from the front desk after we entered our room to see if we are happy with everything.
+ Walking distance to the fashion mall. If shopping is your thing, then you've come to the right place. The entrance to Nordstrom is a crosswalk away.
+ Complimentary shuttle to Caesar's Palace. Runs every 15 minutes until midnight, but I wish they would extend this by an hour or two.
+ Spacious room and great in room amenities. Love the huge Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom!
+ Gym is clean and smells really nice! Seven to eight treadmills! They even offer yoga class in the morning for $12. Wish I had known about it earlier to take advantage of this.
= Free valet. My feeling on this is neutral since I'm not a big fan of valet because why pay/tip someone to park when you can do it yourself? I kind of got used to this idea towards the end of my stay. But I still prefer to park my own car. The driveway to this hotel can get a little hectic with people dropping off their cars, waiting for the cars, shuttles, and taxis. This area can definitely be improved.
= Some Yelpers complained about the noise from the train tracks. I actually heard the noise too on my first night. But it didn't affect my sleep at all, and I didn't hear anything on my second night.
- No magnifying mirror in the bathroom. I really like having those in the bathrooms. And was bummed when I didn't see one. It makes looking at myself a lot harder when I'm practically blind without my contacts
- No casino. Some would see this as a plus, especially if you don't gamble. I don't consider myself to be a gambler at all, but would still prefer to play a game or two here and there.
- Resort fee of $28. Well, they say it's $25 per night, but they bill you another $3 for resort fee tax.
- Terrible phone reception. I had little to no reception in my room on the 24th floor.
As you can see, the good definitely outweighs the bad. And as I mentioned in the beginning, I wouldn't mind returning in the future.
