When i found out I was being sent to Vegas for an in-service, I Yelped the approved hotel options and found Microtel. So glad I did!
Microtel was perfect. Check-in was easy and painless, and the folks working the front desk were always extremely helpful with questions, getting cabs, and meeting any room needs. The amenities are quaint - small pool and an even smaller gym. But enough to get by for a work trip. The location is quite far from the Strip (at least compared to what I'm used to), about a $20 cab ride. The shuttle will take you to Mandalay Bay, I think (found this out on my last day).
The room itself was great. For the price paid (~$60/night), the room was superb - very clean, simple, decorated with a modern flair, and packed with everything you need.
One last aspect that made my stay at Microtel amazing: the complementary continental breakfast. Coffee, tea, milk, and an assortment of juices. A variety of baked goods and cereals offered daily, and a selection of hot entrees: bacon one day, sausage the next. Eggs. Potatoes. Oatmeal. Grits. And a waffle maker! If you're on a budget, this is great - load up on a big breakfast, and take some baked goods to go and you could be set for the day!
Great deal!
