I stayed here for one night on a business trip. The hotel is a few large blocks away from the strip, so not incredibly close. But for a business trip, this place is in the right location. It was incredibly quiet--no lousy, unruly, drunken idiots format he strip stumbling in at 3:00 in the morning. The majority of the clientele were on business. I was given a free upgrade because of my member status.
The clerks at the front desk were incredibly nice and helpful during my stay, as were the bellhops in flagging down a taxi. Since I didn't have much spare time, I like that they have a bar/restaurant downstairs. The bartender, Justine, was amazing. And Keith (one of the general managers?) came over and chatted with me for a few minutes when he saw I was from San Francisco (Go Niners!) and offered his gratitude for picking their hotel.
The gym is pretty small--much smaller than the photos (with mirrors!) make it look on their website. But it sufficed.
The room was clean and spacious. Comfy beds, and very quiet.
My only complaint, which I have with other Marriotts as well, is the expensive breakfast buffet. I'm a bagel w/cream cheese, banana, and coffee-type girl in the morning. I don't want to pay $20 for a breakfast buffet when I barely eat $5 worth of food. And there isn't a Starbucks or anything of the like nearby to go grab a quick muffin. I pilfered some apples from the gym and had a granola bar in my purse.
But overall, a good experience.
