Windows floor to ceiling.\n\nQuiet. Nuff said. \n\nGreat exfoliating bar soap that is almost regular sized.\n\nWave pool with sand beach. AWESOME. \n\nFree tram to Luxor and Excalibur is nice.\n\nGood room service. Actually too good. They kept bothering us and opening our door and knocking with our do not disturb sign up. \n\nEasy checkout. TV, phone, email, lobby. You choose. \n\n\nThe bad:\nPool hours are 8am to 8pm. What?? You're a \"bay.\" How can the pool ever close? Minus a star.\n\nLazy River is full of pee and booze. Gross. \n\nMini fridge isn't accessible for your own food. \n\nIts a ways from the strip and so you feel compelled to get food at 'overly priced for the quality' restaurants. \n\nExpect to wait in line for at least an hour for check-in. Nuts. \n\nNo fan in poo room. \n\nOverall, the good outweighs the bad. I'll give her 4 stars although I agree with Yelp that it is 3.5 stars. Ill round up for good measure..... I'm not sure I would stay here again...I really like accessible pools and mini fridges."^^ . . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . .
