| - Second time staying here, and I can honestly say I wasn't disappointed! Even though the place is pretty outdated and really far from the strip, the customer service, free shuttle from the strip and airport, and the views make up for it.
Upon arriving at the check-in desk, the lady asked if I had in fact reserved a smoking room. Thinking that this was heading in the same direction as the Excalibur experience, I firmly said YES. She coiled back from my fierceness and timidly explained that they ran out of the room type we reserved (arrrrrgh!) BUT they were upgrading us to a suite (whoo!).
We headed up a million flights and walked a million miles to our room to discover.... a HUGE one bedroom king suite! Complete with four t.v.'s (although two we old fashioned tube t.v.'s), a full living room, a huge dining room, full bar (minus the liquor) with stools, and gigantic bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower, and a terrific view of the strip!
Yeah, sure, the place is outdated. This room was not up to par with 2010 (more like 1990) but hey, it was gigantic and for $99.00, how could I complain?
The ONLY real issue with Suncoast are the hard beds. That's nothing a little (or a lot) of liquor can't fix though.
