Just got back from Vegas with the hub and our two Chi's. Yes, the dogs went to Vegas! We got looks from "oh so cute" to "what the..." Hey, can't leave home without them. But back to the TIH. We were most impressed. I love the fact that there is NO Casino upon entering the premises like at the TI or Wynn. And the fact that it's a bit off the Strip was not a deal breaker. Really, it's a five minute walk if you quicken your steps. And, of course, we enjoyed having the kichenette in our studio and the TV in the bathroom mirror...wow!
The service was impeccable. We felt like VIPs and this all happened by the luck of the draw on Hotwire. We had no idea where we were staying until after we made payment. When I realized it was Trump, I frowned. I have my issues with the Donald but I like his stamp on the hotel.
The thing I didn't like the most was all the fees! There's a $3.00 fee on the $25 resort fee. There's a fee on the fee. There's also a room tax of $24. Oh please! Then there were other things like when we called for salt and pepper to add taste to our homemade breakfast, they charged $3.90 for delivery. Guess what? They are sitting pretty on my kitchen counter now. And the Wi-Fi did not work the whole time we were there. Yet part of the resort fee covers it. So, we paid for nothing. If you have T-Mobile, you can only make emergency phone calls on your phone. But they work great when you're outside. Talk about 'can you hear me now?'
For those of you who travel with your pets. They charge $200 not refundable fee and provide a water bowl and complimentary snack. My snobby Chi's did not like the snack. Because they spent most of the time in the room, we could not get housekeeping. And we were fine with that.
