This review is for the front tower only (remodeled rooms) . Not a bad place if you are looking for a nice room at a good price on the strip. But don't expect all the bells and whistles of the big hotels. The Trop is in the midst of a major renovation. Pool area was closed during our visit although in Feb that is not a big deal. Many of the staff are older 40+, that is a good sign, loyal employees, probably been with them awhile.
Pros
- Older therefore smaller, easy to get around
- 3 restaurant options
- renovated rooms, plantation shutters, clean and bright
- older hotel = bigger guest rooms
- Housekeeping was great, staff friendly and helpful
- great deals on rooms (although be sure you get an updated room).
- One small gift shop, there are enough malls in Vegas as it is!
- no mini bar in the room (a plus in my opinion)
- Good location across from MGM,
Cons
- Older, smaller, so entertainment options on site are limited
- Beware of adjoining rooms, you can hear your neighbors!
- If you are into a big hotel experience this is not your place
- We called at 9am day of arrival and we were told early check in would not be a problem, when we arrived at 1:30 had a 2 hour wait (30 minutes past the stated checkin time) despite the fact that the place was very quiet and occupancy previous night was around 65%, response 'we have a 1000 rooms to clean', well I guess they knew that 5 hours earlier.
- Rooms facing MGM have traffic noisy, not sure about Mandalay Bay side
