In order to review this establishment properly, I have to put my review into context. First, we paid $150 + taxes & resort fees per night. This is probably the lower end for hotels on the strip. Secondly, we stayed in Tower 2, which is the newer of the two towers.
That being said, our room was average. It was clean and provided all the amenities one would expect out of the 3-star hotel. The plus side is that Excalibur is also a casino hotel, so you get that "Vegas experience" without emptying your pockets. Having the tram there is nice too.
The I'd probably give the hotel staff somewhere between two and three stars. I didn't have any trouble checking in, but my girlfriend did. The manager was able to sort it out, but not before the robot employee complicated the process.
Side Note: The lot where we were parked was adjacent to our tower, making carrying our luggage up to our room quite convenient.
It was my first time staying on The Strip, and overall, the stay was pleasant. If you don't want to burn a hole in your wallet and you want to stay on The Strip, I would definitely recommend Excalibur.
