I stayed here between Christmas and New Years. Having booked my stay a few months in advance I got a really great rate. They were taking walk ins at over twice what I paid. This was the first time I had stayed off the strip in over 20 years.
The cons:
I am a smoker and was surprised the smoke smell affected me the first time I walked in.
The room I was in showed a lot of wear and the carpets were stained.
The pros:
The room was quite spacious, the chairs comfortable, as was the bed. Every employee I dealt with was pleasant and helpful.
There was a good selection of eating places, I did not get to try them all. I was unimpressed with the ability to watch whatever I wanted at the sports book but after wandering around I was able to find a bar with any game I was interested in. This is definitely a place that caters to the locals and I spent several hours at the bars watching games and chatting with them. Definitely a different feel than staying on the strip. The two afternoons I went off to the strip the shuttle proved to be very handy. I went up to the bowling alley and wished I had a ball with me, it was a nice looking facility. Beers are less expensive than on the strip by a bunch.
Overall this is a place I will most likely stay at again.
