I'm really on the fence between the three and four stars. My friend and I were there at 3:00pm (official check in time) and we were told that NO rooms were ready except for one that was a smoking room with no view. I hate smoking rooms so that wasn't even an option for me. I booked this room really cheap at $39.00 per night...and I think that they just advertise those prices and once you get there those rooms don't exist or you need to wait THREE additional hours for it to be cleaned. I think NOT!!! I just drove 5 hours to get here...I am not waiting three more hours for a 10 minute clean job plus I had tickets to the Love show for that evening and I wanted to get ready and relax before the show.
But of course for $20.00 more a night you can "upgrade" your room and have a view of the strip. I was really unhappy about being backed into a coroner like that but I was tired so I did it. But I still feel that they ripped me off. And of course it was the VERY LAST room at the end of the hallway...which I told her I didn't want but she gave it to me anyways! Other than that the hotel is well maintained. The rooms are decent...the bed was really nice and comfortable...and I did have a nice view of the strip.
The location of this hotel is great and probably the best thing about it. They also have some nice restaurants to choose from, a free Volcano show and the Dolphin/Tiger habitat. I would probably stay here again but I would just book a nicer room to begin with so I won't be hit up with upgrade charges at the last minute.
